There is a bit of buzz about Spring Boot in the Groovy space. It's possible to wire up a micro webframework example with only a couple lines of code in Groovy.

Remember that Groovy, Grails, and Spring Boot are run by the same company, there might be some synergy between the latter two at some point.
- msgilligan 13y agoGrails 2.4 will have Spring 4.0 support. (Spring Boot is based on Spring 4) Of course there already is synergy in that you can reuse components between Grails and Spring, but things will be getting even better with Spring 4 and Grails 2.4: http://grails.org/Roadmap http://grails.org/Roadmap
- vorg 13y ago> Remember that Groovy, Grails, and Spring Boot are run by the same company, there might be some synergy It's because Groovy and its apps like Grails are part of the same company that many developers are afraid of creating anything web-related for Groovy that's not a Grails plugin. Grails head Graeme Rocher was evn one of the 5 Groovy despots for 4 yrs, and didn't leave until a few months ago. This could have been what prompted the Play! 2 framework to purge itself of all its Groovy code.
- mcv 13y agoWhy exactly is that a reason to be afraid? What are they afraid of?
- taeric 13y agoIf we are going all conspiracy territory on why Play dropped a language in favor of another, it would seem much easier to say that the controlling company of Play decided to drop support of a somewhat competitive alternative language for the JVM. :) No need to bring the stewardship of groovy into it.
