Hello, 1- We have this license server, used to control the use of a professional software (this one written using delphi). This was tested with thousands of simutaneous connections, and has been working with no hiccup for 6 months. It uses nio + ssl + a mysql database. 2- An application that connects to telephony switches and gives real time call informations to web users. With the whole administration part (managing customer, agents and their different price lists, showing statistics). It has many users permanently logged in as they need to monitor those calls (they are call shops). So they can see the calls counting for their (typically 8) booths, and can do various operation on the calls (like interrupting a prepaid call for instance). That's a lot of polling. We're still in the ramp-up period so we only have a fraction of the existing customers using our application yet. This project uses compojure + jetty + ssl + a postgres database. There isn't much to report, everything worked as expected. The jvm integration was a big help, providing access to some java third party libraries. Also using java, i can develop on windows, and just drop the jar on a solaris or linux server, it just works. The REPL helps a lot too. I'd like to see support for database connection pooling, and those pesky sql underscored column names to end up with dashes on the clojure side. Also compojure has somewhat of an attitude. Actually i miss cl-sql and hunchentooth, but hey you can't get everything, and what we've got is already fantastic. The language itself is perfect for the job, though i'm looking forward to the protocols and deftype extensions. The type metadata trick always seems wrong, and including it in a map feels like a hack. Refs, atoms and agents helped a lot, as well as the immutable data structures. There it is, an application programmer's view on clojure ! Sacha De Vos -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
