What Makes Groovy So…Groovy?
Ever since attending the No Fluff Just Stuff symposium last month, I've been digging into Groovy, and have frankly been blown away. As I watched the presentations, and as I have done my own research, I have been blown away by Groovy's power. I'm convinced. I have to use Groovy. It's that good. I am, however, having a little trouble convincing others of its coolness. Maybe this will help others. Please leave your comments and let me know what you think. I wrote a blog about it. Here it goes!
As I dig deeper, I find that features of the language fall in to four basic categories:
- Wow! That's really groovy!
- Wow! That's really useful!
- Hmmm...that's good to know.
- Nice...but will I use it?
I will focus on the really useful, much of which is also very groovy, but as my boss might say, "groovy don't pay the rent." (He's kind of weird like that.)
