I'd recommend an architecture where you utilize ejabberd and create bots/components that read XML stanzas and react. That way you can just scale your application servers separately and use any language you choose. You also get chat for free. On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 4:23 AM, ngocdaothanh

With respect to Stuart's comment above - Erlang is designed for distributed operation across many machines; Clojure is designed for a single machine with many cores., how are Clojure and Haskell different? I am just curious to know how do Haskell, Clojure and Erlang compare. On Sep 24, 4:36 am,

Clojure and Haskell both include STM systems for controlled access to shared resources. There's a Haskell distribution known as Glasgow Distributed Haskell (GdH), which provides facilities for small-scale distributed programming. Clojure can achieve the same effect through the use of third-party
