- kuschku 10y agoThat’s... You’re serious? I’m not quite sure what to answer. On the one hand, that’s embarrassing (and tells tales of the quality of compsci education), on the other hand, there’s Groovy, I guess?
- vorg 10y agoBad example. Apache Groovy has the downsides of both Java (e.g. requiring the memory hogging JVM) and JS (e.g. errors arising from dynamic typing, like one-char strings auto-converted to chars).
