Go / Postgres / React & Fluxxor Edit: forgot to mention go-tigertonic. :)

I'm trying to use Go+React and had not heard about Fluxxor. How do those (Golang and Fluxxor which is based on Node) fit together in your system?

Are you using a Node or Go frontend?

We're using Fluxxor on the client, not the server. It uses node for installation infrastructure, but after you bundle it up it's just another JS library to import with require.js (or whatever; it's agnostic about such things).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Still, why so many different? Must be really messy.

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

You 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?

I just looked at Fluxxor and AngularJS. They use the exact same TodoList example in their quickstart guides. Turns out that AngularJS is simpler and easier to understand.
