After several months of intense development and coding, we have ported the base-templates of our Codedness system to the Clojure programming language. This is, again, an important milestone in the journey to bring the ASTRID-technology to the rest of the world.

Codedness is our development platform that uses Model-Driven Architectures (MDA) for Rapid Application Development (RAD). As Codedness is programming language agnostic, it supports development in any specific language by utilizing a language-specific set of templates. These templates implement an application-metamodel, that generates completely functional applications directly from a (comprehensive) data-model. Large-scale enterprise-level data management applications can be built in weeks, instead of months or even longer with traditional approaches.

We selected Clojure as the target-platform for development of the production-level implementation of our ASTRID-system. Although the ASTRID-system, in its core, consists of custom code that could never be built from templates, the supporting infrastructure for training and deploying the ASTRID-technology can certainly be built (largely) from our MDA-templates.

The ASTRID core system was already ported to Clojure, with some surprising results. However, the implementation of the Clojure templates in Codedness will have a great impact on the development and implementation of our new training-platform and finally the realization of customer-facing ASTRID-functionality.
