Developing Google Wave Robots with Ruby on Rails, Gaelyk and Clojure

As most developers are aware you can currently develop extensions in Google Wave™ using Java™ and Python™.

See the following links for the Google™ released toolkits for:

• Java™
• Python™

Also, because Google™ requires robots to be on Google App Engine, a robot can only be written in either  Python™ or Java™… or another language that can be implemented on the JVM.

So folks have been hard at work developing some APIs for other languages.

Take for instance Ruby on Rails™…which has JRuby™. there is a number of efforts to develop an API for JRuby™:

• Sam Ruby’s Wave Robot Ruby Client
• Jack Danger’s Wave
• Mike Sofaer’s Wave Robot Sinatra Template

If you would like to try to write your first robot in JRuby™ for Google Wave™ visit:

Rave: Google Wave™ Robots on Ruby™ and it will walk you through developing our first Google Wave™ robot using JRuby™.

If you are interested in doing something with Gealyk™ visit:

Wave Robot Using Groovy™ and Gealyk™ Part 1 UPDATE and it will get you started using Gealyk™ to develop a Google Wave™ robot.

Finally, if you would like to use Clojure™ (because GAE now supports Java™) visit:

Google Wave and Clojure™ as they walk you through building your first robot for Google Wave™ using Clojure™.

If you know of any other languages that are being used to develop Google Wave™ robots please let us know below in the comments. Moreover, if you are using any of the above languages drop us a line about your experience.
