Thank you Viral and thank you Stefan. The Rust solution would be an interesting and longer term effort because the person I would rely on to do most of the development is not yet ready to take the Rust plunge until it matures/stabilizes a bit more.
The other two ideas REST and zeromq look interesting and I'd like to learn more. I spent what little available time I had yesterday reading about message queueing with zeromq and others. That is very interesting stuff. I had a quick look at JuliaBox. That is pretty awesome :) I would love to understand how it works. Like I said, I am pretty much a blank slate and learning everything as I go, so looking at the JuliaBox code, it wasn't immediately obvious (.t? .lua? :)). Does there exist a simple document describing the process flow of how JuliaBox works? In very general terms, could you help sketch out and point me to some reading material to help me make progress building a RESTful interface to Julia running on a server? Should it be built entirely in Julia? Is it already done in JuliaBox or elsewhere? I think initially, I will focus on REST. Another platform (OpenGamma) I'm working with also has a RESTful API so any effort I make will not be wasted even if I eventually start work with zeromq (which I probably will). Thank you again. Cheers, Eric
