At the Bay Area user group meeting in June, there was a very interesting discussion about how to best use Clojure's concurrency primitives to field large numbers of concurrent requests, especially in a long-poll/push type application. We didn't arrive at any solid conclusion, but it was clear to everyone that a thread-per-request model is especially gratuitous for a language like Clojure.
With this in mind, I decided to make the thinnest possible wrapper around Netty such that a person could play around with alternate ways to use Clojure effectively. The result can be found at http://github.com/ztellman/aleph. I've just discovered another Netty wrapper was released this weekend (http://github.com/datskos/ring-netty-adapter), but it's somewhat different in its design and intent; it couples the request and response to allow for seamless interop with Ring. Anyways, I hope some people find this interesting. Clojure doesn't seem to have found its own voice w.r.t. web development; hopefully we can work together to fix that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
