Love at first bite- GROOVY
While looking at Rails on Ruby some time back, I was enticed by its mean clean way of creating fast data driven web sites. Being a hard-core JAVA-ite, I know the LABOR PAINS pains for achieving similar in Java world of JSF, Struts e.t.c.
The first SIGHT of GROOVY aka GRAILS- I was enticed
The first BITE of GROOVY aka GRAILS- I was in Love!!!!
So I have a Rails Clone powered by Java- deadly combo!!!!
The first few weeks were truly amazing as I tried my hands on a new project. Fast UI development, magical Ajax support, convention over configuration MIRCHY was what I was wanting for so long.
Some weeks later, as I and Grails settle down together, I am getting aware of our weaknesses (in both me and Grails/Groovy). It is not that bad yet and with Big B Java as heavenly God Father covering up the setbacks, it has been good so far.
I am not too concerned about Grails/Groovy being slow(not sure though whether that is true). Why- because Groovy heart is actually Made in JAVA and I will know what to pull where to get it beating faster.
Will keep posted on whether this LOVE lasts for ever.
