groovy does an amazing job of combining all the worst parts of ruby and java into one language. it's like an art project that people confused for a serious language

i suspect the main reasons to use groovy were that it had a repl and local type inference. now java 9 includes the former and java 10 will bring the latter

hopefully the groovy scourge will wither and die

im already liking maven more after coming across my first 60 line task inside a gradle build file that "helps" build helm configs - so im open to your other crazy ideas.

On a side note, Java 9 REPL stuff: http://www.baeldung.com/java-9-repl

a really good bicyclist can do a 100 mile ride on a huffy mountain bike, it doesnt mean they should use that instead of a bike that makes their job easier, is less prone to failure, and more fun to ride

my experience with groovy with going to the groovy website and finding that half of the links were broken.

also after using groovy for 10 minutes it was plainly obvious that it was terrible.

now we have some jenkinsfiles written in it which i hate but whatever. it is at least better than bash.

I went to a NFJS conference back in like the early 2000's when groovy and grails were a Big Deal

saw a intro-to-grails presentation by a well-respected dude who had written at least two books on grails and he spent the entire goddamn 90 minutes trying to figure out why his incredibly simple grails app demo wasn't working.

and that was the last time i considered using grails for anything.

groovy on grails was one of the many rails knockoff projects that completely misunderstood what was good about rails. it was sort of baffling how early rails marketing was entirely focused on how it made it so that you could bang out a functional demo app in just a few minutes and then have clear guidance on how to grow that into a real application, and yet a bunch of people came to the conclusion that actually what made rails good was all the impossible to debug magic and so they decided to replicate that and not the great getting-started experience.

which is crazy because Rails was just somebody stumbling upon what made WebObjects great and recreating it without important features (by creating “scaffolding” for a developer to modify instead of just driving the app from a set of extensible rules)

i remember when apple dropped the price of webobjects from the insane $10k/server or w/e it was to like $99/server and it was like "you stupid fucks goddamnit why didn't you do this years ago"

so consultants used PowerBuilder to build lovely CRUD apps instead, and I am 100% sure none of them still exist because ugh.
