Re: Cross platform server based development

[Nicola Pero]

For server applications, I would strongly recommend GNUstep.  It's very
fast, very well tested, reliable, and easy to integrate with C libraries
and tools.  There are other systems you could use, but for server
development, GNUstep is probably the best one (or one of the best ones).
We use it at work with some very large mission-critical enterprise
systems, and we're very happy with it.

I'm not sure about Python and Ruby though ... I never tried to integrate
it with Python or Ruby so I don't really know about that part ... but I
believe there are projects that will help you with that.

Thanks
