Hey Ron, Thanks for your response. Digging deeper into my question... When I read about the Torquebox Immutant duet, I thought it was particularly interesting solution, because it was fairly easy to deploy and both processes would live inside a JVM environment. I was impressed by how Clojure data structures mapped to Ruby structures and vice-versa, it seemed to provide a very clean and idiomatic messaging platform. Plus it would provide tools for caching, clustering, and what not. Still I wasn't very keen on the JRuby subject, since It's known to have compatibility issues with certain gems.
Yesterday while researching on the subject I found about ZeroMQ. Do you have any particular reason to use RabbitMQ over other messaging libraries? Are there any caveats to your interop model? How portable is deploying a site using a messaging solution such as RabbitMQ? I also found out about Google's Protocol Buffers, they seemed like a lightweight solution to pass language agnostic data structures through the messaging infrastructure. Do messages need to be encapsulated somehow, or is this actually unnecessary? How it's done in your case? Regarding security and sensible information interop; Should messages be encrypted? Should they be encrypted as a whole message or partially (only sensible data)? What are the performance implications of this pipeline? Is the overhead and footprint of such setup (Ruby + Messaging Broker + ClojureJVM) big enough, for it to be worth thinking on writing everything in Clojure (using the Luminus framework)?
