Hi Guys, I haven't used Clojure for a year or so (I was busy in C and Verilog), but I still love it and would like to use it.
I'm going to write a web app. I want to ask users to answer multiple choice questions and time their responses. I'd like them to be able to easily make accounts (the sign-in with google id feature of Stack Overflow is really neat, I think) and store their performance data so they can watch themselves improve. I'd like to develop and test it on my own machine, but deploy it to a virtual server somewhere, which I hope will not be hideously expensive. I hope it will be popular, but I think it's better to get a prototype working than to worry about scaling in advance. However it would be silly to prototype using a method that is unscalable. My intutition is telling me to use Python and Flask, but my heart is telling me to use Clojure and some framework, but I don't know what is best. Or should I just write the whole server from scratch? The less code the better, as far as I'm concerned, but I don't like using things I don't understand. Do you have any advice? Even comparisons of 'cgi scripts hacked up in perl vs framework in continuously running VM' are welcome. I'm out of my depth writing web apps, and will welcome any wisdom from those who have actually done this sort of thing. I don't need language comparisons. I've used most languages and already have opinions on them all. Thanks in advance, John. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
