i wonder how this contrasts with spring XD

[mrcsparker → pweissbrod]

It is a lot like Spring XD. They both use a data flow model: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming

I have been playing with both, and I prefer Spring XD's DSL. It looks a lot like Unix pipes, which I could easily grok (and it has the full suite of Spring monitoring and logging tools built in). That being said, they are both excellent projects.
