John Udell: Glue, Gaia, and the services grid. "As every user of Glue knows, Graham [Glass, the wizard behind The Mind Electric] is more than a brilliant software engineer. He has an even rarer talent for simplicity. In Glue, as Larry Wall says of Perl, "easy things are easy, and hard things are possible." That's why I think of Glue as the SOAP::Lite of Java. The easy thing that Glue makes easy is the basic web services stack. The hard thing that Gaia makes possible is a grid fabric which, though intended first for web services, has more general possibilities." Hm, "Glue as the SOAP::Lite of Java". I like that. Thanks, John. Agree with everything you said about Graham and Glue. Glue is super simple and easy to use. Sometimes it's even simpler than SOAP::Lite ;). Kudos Graham!
