| > right now Groovy is working really well for me Happy you've found a language that works out for you! You're certainly a prolific promoter of Groovy here at Hacker News... 7 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7360491 "Most of our code is in Groovy" 20 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7278426 "Assuming there is a next startup and it's anything like the current startup, then I'd probably go with Groovy again. Groovy has worked very well for us." 2 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7042329 "We've been using Grails and Groovy extensively (almost exclusively) at Fogbeam Labs for about 3 years now, and I am very happy with how that decision has worked out" 2 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7013785 "Anyway, if you already know Java and have some familiarity with that world, I can't recommend Groovy and Grails highly enough." 2 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7011934 "if you asked me to write a non-trivial program starting today, and I had to optimize for productivity, I'd pick Groovy." |
I do find it curious though, that you took the time necessary to look all of that up and post it. I'm sure every language has a handful of people who are particularly vocal about their support for it. :-)
