Roux is a thickening ingredient used in Gumbo. It binds together all of the ingredients and makes gumbo ''Gumbo''. ''I have to share this madness....'' So, I have an existing system written in C++, Tcl, Postgres and Berkeley Db (for message queues). A new system will be mostly Java (with some Jython) and Berkeley Db. How do you integrate the two? (I have some parts of the old system that I want to reuse). I am using Tcl Blend to decode a java object retrieved from a Berkeley DB queue (previously injected by a Java app) and then pass it to the legacy Tcl code which interfaces with Postgres. Heck, while I'm at it, why not use Jacl to sling around the unit tests coded in [Jython]. The scary thing is.. I'm not kidding...
