Sudoku as a Service with Julia

I've been using Julia a little while now for my scientific work, and I have to say, it is a very well-designed language. I remember reading a few days ago on HN another user commented that he thought it was the best-designed language after Clojure. Not to mention it's much easier for people used to conventional programming languages to pick up and get started with.

I was actually thinking this would be a great language to use for web development; it's just that no one's developed a really good framework for it yet.

Theres been some work towards that: https://github.com/hackerschool/Meddle.jl is "middleware", and https://github.com/hackerschool/Morsel.jl is a framework. The main issue right now is that no one is particularly pushing/has a strong need for that kind of thing right now. I speculate that math-heavy services like the one described in this post will probably sit side-by-side with other services written in more traditional languages in the short to mid-term.
