Sure - if Undertow is a project that caters to a small set of
integrators and expected to have
a very short shelf life, then yes, the discussion is pointless. But ...
as Tomcat and Jetty have shown,
Java based web containers have a long shelf life. API design becomes
paramount. :)
I want the API to be awesome too :) Note that Stuart is looking for feedback for
all of the Undertow APIs (not just this) before it goes final. This is our
one-and-only chance to get them right.
Hearing the top 10 API annoyances from everyone would be awesome!
