Is anyone else bothered by the fact that InfoQ interviewed a team of really smart guys doing exciting and challenging (and computationally intensive) data analysis on a sparkly new-ish cloud host that's supposedly doing great things for scalability, and wasted so much time talking about HTML5 and mobile web UI? Aren't there a million web designers out there they can interview instead, or am I just missing something?
I know they had a "Part 1" (which my computer is utterly failing to access right now or I'd verify the following), but from what I remember, it was about how they use Clojure, and there's an entire scalability angle to get that I'd rather hear.

- runevault 17y agoI only skimmed this one but I didn't see any replies from Bradford Cross, and he's one of only two guys on their team doing the Clojure/Hadoop/etc back end. So maybe they were talking to the front end guys this time?
- fluffee 17y agoSigh... just RTF part 1 before moaning: http://www.infoq.com/articles/flightcaster-clojure-rails http://www.infoq.com/articles/flightcaster-clojure-rails It goes extensively into detail about their use of Clojure. The fact that the 2nd part's title is "Building FlightCaster's Frontends for the Web and Smartphones" could've tipped you off about what's inside...
