Vert.x Support

[rahulmutt]

This issue is to track the progress of the Vert.x integration for Eta via Eta Fibers. The timeline for this has not yet been decided.

If you would really like to see this happen, please like this issue and we can add it to our milestones.

Happy to see this issue
For fiber, it may be similar to coroutine in Kotlin language, this repo maybe helpful for Vert.x eta support.

For relatively pure fp language support
this document maybe helpful(clojure support for Vert.x 2)

Hi @chengenzhao, I've added this to the v0.2 milestone. The dependencies for this are:

• Generate FFI Imports #164 - Generate FFI Imports so we can easily create FFI bindings for the Vert.x API. This is actively being worked on now.
• The new Fiber implementation based on trampolining. This implementation should be much faster and once the base is done, we can create functions to convert callback and future-based APIs to fibered APIs.
