What a thread with all those people from the mid-2000s.

It’s a reunion for the worst of reasons but it’s a testament to crazy on of how many people he made feel awesome along the way
Crazy thread indeed; I am writing Groovy code and a past lead of Apache Groovy turns up to pay tribute.
And in my current project, I'm using Bob's creation, the @Inject annotation that he introduced when he was leading the work on JSR-330!
Thanks for mentioning that - sent me learning more about the nuances of @Inject vs @Autowired (Spring shop here; I gather Bob hated Spring and my feelings about it aren't super warm either).
