It definitely can be, since it's an infrastructural distributed system, but it's all unix when you break it down.

- alexgartrell 12y agoYou can't just throw out a platitude like "it's all unix when you break it down." That doesn't actually make any sense. When you use a bunch of different languages the primary difficulty you run into is interop. Some languages work well together by default and interop is easy, but this is almost never the case. Generally you're stuck making the decision between easy interop (RESTful APIs or your favorite RPC framework) and fast interop (JNI, swig, etc.). So how do you guys actually deal with interop, other than to limit the need for it?
