Yep, looks like we where the first of hopefully many production implementations...
It's quite funny, we are expanding the bus logic presently and without Clojure, I wonder how much effort and Java code it would have required us. We store rules in a database (hey Stuart, we really need one !:))), it remains simple to enter them from our Rails GUI. We convert them to full sexpr before applying them to the messages on the bus. Some are routing rules, others apply transformations to messages to adapt to endpoints limitations (field length limitations, field substitutions,...) All of this is quite dynamic and Java was not a workable option. We were juggling with JRuby when we discovered Clojure. JRuby was not quite complete at the time we looked at it and Clojure looked usable and expandable right now. In retrospective, I find it a lot easier with Clojure than Ruby, immutability is a key point here. We do not want any side effects on the original message. More fun, less debugging hours... Welcome to the club Stuart :))) I looked at your app and it's impressive. Ours is more nuts and bolts and not generally exposed to the public aside from the vets of course. Yours has a larger audience and that's good for all of us.
