Paul, That is exactly what I was driving at, with a slight difference. Pryxis takes an existing program with all the extra code and makes it faster. I would like to build new applications, and I don't even want to build the "extra" code to begin with. Naively speaking, a system that was built w

I would take a look at MIT's Pyxis for help. The publications and work sounds very similar to what you're shooting for: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/making-web-applications-more-efficient-0831.html Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure

Mikera, Thank you for your reply, potentially it would include many machines. But the main motivation is to write less code, abstracting the actual implementation. I read that Storm is an implementation of Hadoop, I don't think I need to process that much data. But if I was I would like to be

I think Clojure would be a great choice for this. When you say "systemwide" though I assume you mean a lot of distributed processing across many machines? In that case you should probably be looking at Storm, Aleph, Pallet, Ring and the host of other Clojure libraries in that general area. What

Everybody, I'd like to define a systemwide data structure with Clojure. I'd like it to represent input data, and derived data. Some specified derived data could be temporary for the calculation of other derived data. I also would like to use functions to specify the derivation of data. The idea
