Tornado is actually very Pythonic and has a very well written and modern
code base.  I think "tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()" is the way
it is in order to let you use multiple IO loops in different threads but I
can't think of other places where such an idiom is used.
What one might find a little Java-esque at a first glance is Twisted,
because of zope.interface and the camelCase notation, but definitively not
Tornado.
