Written by Groovy offers the flexibility of PHP and the power and capabilities of Java. Groovy meets all the requirements: optional static typing, familiar syntax, runs on a VM, performs as well as Java and supports lots of hot buzzwords like closures and builders. If you are a PHP and/or Ruby developer, I’m sure you are going to love Groovy.
If you are interested in learning more about Groovy and Grails and what it has to offer to your developer toolbox, keep an eye on my blog for some groovy posts :)
hi, some off topic question,
what is the state of http://trex.fedecarg.com/ ?
from the documents it looks very promising, but i can’t find nothing in download link nor in the svn.
regards
I’m really interest in this new language..hope to see soon some first step post :D
Imo the syntax of groovy is aweful, it reminds me of visual basic : )
Hey, come on, there’s nothing wrong with the syntax :)
Java (PHP) syntax: http://bit.ly/2Yjhim
Groovy syntax: http://bit.ly/1stBmx
I like Ruby more than Groovy. Groovy some advantages, but in general I don’t think it will be in my toolbox (for now).
I’m sure I’ll try Grovvy as soon as I get some free time.. :)
