Congrats on the (kinda) launch. I was curious to see what you guys were up to. The blog post is pretty detailed, and with good insights. Reducing modern app development complexity to mixing data structures sounds like a good abstraction. I'm sure you thought really hard about the building blocks of Rama and you know your problems better than most of the hn crowd.

Now, the really hard part becomes selling. If companies start using your product to get ahead, that will be the real proof, otherwise its "just" tech that is good on paper.

On a side note, did you guys got any inspiration from clojure? I see lots of interesting projects propping up from clojure people...

Best of luck!

Rama is written in Clojure :)

Nathan, we guessed that it was written in Clojure :-)

Interesting to finally see the announcement.

"Rama is programmed entirely with a Java API".

[nathanmarz]

The customer API in Java, and the implementation of that API is in Clojure.

Does a possibility of a Python API figure anywhere in your roadmap? Or am I missing the point here? Seems like it would be a smart choice to have one on the statically-typed side, and one on dynamically-typed side?

[fiddlerwoaroof]

Will there be a first-party Clojure wrapper? Or, would the expectation be that users would use Java interop?

[nathanmarz]

We're not releasing one as we don't have the bandwidth right now to maintain and document another API. That said, making a Clojure wrapper around the Java API should be pretty easy.

And hopefully, simple, too! ;)
