Last week was added Groovy and Grails support to the NetBeans standart distibution. Now you can download it from here. Who is Guillaume Laforge ?
Guillaume Laforge, founder and Project Manager of Groovy, spec lead of
JSR-241, founder of the Grails framework, co-author of Groovy in
Action, frequent conference speaker and VP Technology of G2One, Inc. I think this is very good characterization.
Today he pressented Groovy success stories and future directions
on. This pressentation was litlle bit diffrent than one I have seen before ( previous pressentation was more technical and there was lot of examples of groovy usage). This pressentation was more like the tale and it was about vision of the future. Guillaume also metioned advantages of groovy in general. How is easy to write some hard mathematical equations. I think in that case is Groovy really strong! Also he mation that Groovy is quite faster than other. I do belive to that because it's quite logical.
Here are some pictures.
