[Demexp-dev] Which architecture and languages for next developments?
Hello, At last demexp meeting, we have decided to focus developments on a web interface to help the spreading of demexp. We should face now the choice of architecture and language to accomplish this. I have already made a web interface to demexp[1] using the WDialog framework[2], which is using the OCaml language. WDialog allows to write web interface, and other OCaml modules allow to interface with SQL databases. If I follow the same approach, I would have roughly the following architecture: Web browser --HTTP-- WDialog interface --demexp RPC-- demexp server ^ ^ | | v v SQL database XML file The demexp server stores the bases of participants (including their login/password for vote) and questions. Please notice that in the long term (after delegation and i18n is implemented), the demexp server will also use a SQL database. The Wdialog interface and associated SQL base would store the state of question seen, voted, etc. for each participant, as well as maybe WDialog state. What could be wrong with this architecture: - WDialog is using OCaml, which is an unknown language. Since Thomas has released PyDemexp[3], it is know possible to use the Python language to make the web interface; - WDialog provides basic functionnality and OCaml allows to use about any frameworks, but I have sometime the feeling to reinvent the wheel, especially regarding web technologies. What do you think of it? Do you think it would be better to use known frameworks like http://turbogears.org/ ? Any Python framework you would be aware of (except Zope, which I find too slow)? If I'm alone to develop, I think I'll keep OCaml because it can be quite fast (compile to native code) and it is such a nice language. But I might change my mind the avoid the same mistake as with the client (i.e. to gather developers). It should be notice that if we use web technologies (like AJAX), we will use more popular languages (javascript, HTML, CSS or SQL for example) so it might be easier to gather developers for them.
