Hello Abraham,

Firstly, a quote from Node.x :

Node.x internally uses Netty for much of the asynchronous IO.

Second, I believe Netty will adopt Java 7 features in time, as they
are needed. From my knowledge, Java 7 changes that will benefit Netty
are mostly under the hood (if any, and aside from syntactic changes).

Hth,
