In considering languages to use in creating a web-application that interfaces with a database back-end, has anyone had experience in using Yuma and can share how stable it is and what kind of performance it may give?

Don't really have an answer, but why is there a realbasic tag? – Loïc Wolff Mar 05 '09 at 18:08

@dex Because Yuma is a Web environment provided by RealBASIC. – Michael Trausch Mar 05 '09 at 18:20

Yuma is a way to utilize REALbasic syntax within HTML, much like how PHP works. It is a 3rd party product and is not affiliated with REAL Software. – Paul Lefebvre Mar 05 '09 at 19:57

I take it that not many StackOverflow-ers are using Yuma then :-) – Bart Silverstrim Mar 06 '09 at 13:40

I'd be surprised if many here are using RB. The RB forums is a better place to ask this. – Stephen Cox Apr 22 '09 at 18:49

I use Yuma and am pretty happy with it. However, I haven't thrown the kitchen sink at it so don't know how well it scales. Yuma does provide a developer download so if you're interested you should check it out. I use it for a few apps that have a custom back ends. If you're familiar with RealBasic it's a piece of cake to use.
The only downside is there are tons of source for php and python (scripts, etc), publicly available source for Yuma is practically non-existent because it is so new. Also, finding a hosting provider to host a Yuma back-end is doable but probably not as prevalent as php.
I'd recommend trying it out if you're a RealBasic user. Very little learning curve and some good stuff like caching and use of FASTCGI, etc.
