HyperDex is interesting. It has a lot of pluses — fast, written in C, easy to run, seems robust.
On the other hand, the author (or authors) seem completely unresponsive about some things. Their Homebrew package's Ruby support is still broken a year after reporting it [1]. The Homebrew package is also ancient (1.4.4 instead of 1.8.1); I did a PR [2], which requires that the authors to roll a release of their fixes to HEAD of libpo6 [3]. All of this has been ignored for some time.
I'm just worried that the project, which seems to be maintained by just one developer, is languishing. Very little commit activity, lots of open issues, lack of attention, etc.
