While this looks great I'm having trouble fitting it to any of the projects I'm already working on.

We already have all those pieces in place, along with the ability of swapping any one piece with a different one; say, if we wanted to go RESTful we only need to swap one block.

It does look gorgeous tho; how would one go about gradually adopting it?

As a fully integrated framework solution, it may be hard to gradually adopt Redwood, and that's ok. If you already have a setup you like, and it gives you the flexibility that you need, then that's awesome! I want Redwood to be around for the majority of devs that don't already have a sweet setup going, and are lamenting the endless hours of choosing, setup, and integration ahead of them just to get something started.

First things first, thank you very much for the fast response!

It's very true that all the prepwork is pretty costly, hence my eagerness to try and adopt random bits and pieces even at this stage; it might end up saving us time down the line haha

While I have you around... what would be a good toy to build with this? Our megalithic, business rules heavy app sounds like a potential good fit for the Redwood, but it's entirely too large a bite to tease our engineering leads with.
