I have a question: I did some experiments with Apache Camel, and you seem much more experienced than me in Java: in your opinion, how does Mule compares with Apache Camel?

My opinion is that it's a pointless waste of space that does nothing except slow down development. But I suspect that would also be my opinion of Apache Camel.

Is Mule xml based? Sorry, no thanks...

In my daily work / projects I actively use every one of the following :

  Servers - Apache, Nginx
  Databases - MySQL, SQlite, Redis
  Languages - Bash, C, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript
  IDE's - Emacs, Vim
  Tools/Frameworks - Git, GCC, GTK, Webkit, Symfony2, jQuery
These are all things I use to build finished software products, I experiment around with Go and Haskell, but haven't used either much for practical purposes (except Go for a few server side things).

Have you tried MayaVi?

There's a pretty good, if underdocumented, interface for configuring it programatically.
