Aleph is a Clojure library designed for asynchronous communication, providing tools for building high-performance network applications using non-blocking I/O. It leverages the Netty framework to handle various protocols and offers abstractions for managing connections, streams, and other asynchronous operations efficiently.
About Aleph
Aleph was created in 2010 by Zach Tellman to address the need for high-performance, non-blocking network communication in Clojure. It leveraged the Netty framework to provide asynchronous I/O capabilities, enabling developers to build scalable and efficient network applications. The library aimed to simplify complex networking tasks and improve performance through asynchronous processing.
Strengths of Aleph include its high performance, non-blocking I/O capabilities, and seamless integration with Clojure. Weaknesses involve its complexity and steep learning curve for developers unfamiliar with asynchronous programming. Competitors include libraries like HTTP Kit, Pedestal, and core.async in the Clojure ecosystem, as well as Netty and Akka in the broader JVM landscape.
