Hi everyone, I'm about to start working on building a site for a startup company.
We are a small team, and currently they've been coding the site using RoR (Ruby on Rails). I was thinking Clojure might be better suited for the task, specially because we'll need to implement a backend which is robust, scalable and secure, but also we'll need flexibility, which I think the RoR framework won't shine at all. At our team, we are two coders, non of us are proficient in Web Developing, and we have little experience with RoR, and I thought (I'm sure) maybe investing time learning Clojure will provide us with better tools. PROBLEM/QUESTION While searching for alternative solutions, I stumbled upon the Flightcaster case, we're they are using RoR to implement the site's frontend and Clojure for the system backend. I thought this was a very elegant solution, using each tool for what it's good at. Plus this way we can reuse what they've already implemented. I found a way to do this is by using Torquebox and Immutant, and using the messaging systems to communicate between Jruby and Clojure. Still I have no idea of how this works, and the performance and security implications it brings to the table. I found little information on the subject. I would appreciate if anyone could provide guidance, examples or documentation on the subject. Any reference to open source projects which use this hybrid language solutions on the JVM would be great to have. Is this the best way to solve the RoR interactions? Is there any other way?
