Hard to say. I would expect a small team already familiar with Clojure could probably build this in a month but I don’t know how long it’ll take your team to ramp up. Java-to-Clojure is easy for some and extremely hard for others. > Is the movement from Java to Clojure easy for someone completely new to > Clojure? See above. Familiarity with Java means the ecosystem and tooling (and stacktraces) won’t cause you any problems, but at the same time, if your developers are steeped in Java / OOP thinking, Clojure can be very confusing at first (How do I encapsulate my data? How do I write a loop? How do I handle state? Etc). > Are the libraries that we might use for this - I had a look at Ring briefly > robust for our use case? Yes, people are building solid production systems with Clojure all the time. We’ve used Clojure in production for nearly seven years now and we’ve been extremely happy with the stability of everything we’ve used. > Does Clojure have good support for using AWS for example? (You can call Java > from Clojure so I guess this wouldn't really be an issue.) It’ll depend on exactly what you plan to use from the vast AWS stable but, in general, yes since as you observe, you can always drop down to Java. > Does it interface well with MySQL? Yes, we run a large MySQL-based production system in Clojure – and all our JDBC access has been via Clojure for several years. Caveat: I maintain the clojure.java.jdbc Contrib library, so I may be a little biased here ☺ Sean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
