dumb question alert: use *both* ruby on rails and python possible?
Yes, it is possible at some degree using Java. You may use JRuby and Jython in the same app.
the front end and end-user data-collection we want to build in RoR since it's just some simple forms connected to a database.
The integration with other external api's such as twitter and facebook and parsing of the data entered by the users we want to do in python, mostly because the developer for that part knows python.
Is that possible?
