In Clojure in Action (still in MEAP i think) there's a chapter about using (Erlang/OTP-based) RabbitMQ message queue server for making Clojure scalable in a Hadoopish map-reduce-way.
Avout seems to solve many of the problems that easily could occur in such an approach by not needing a centralized "reduce server" for every calculation. Another similar way of solving problems of concurrency seems to be Operational Transformation, which is used in many Google products. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation Otherwise +1 for Erlang. /Linus On 11/30/11 10:53 AM, AndyK wrote: > If you're willing to dig into another language, 'Erlang and OTP in > Action' gives a great overview of Erlang and the distributed > principles underlying that language.
