Grails head Graeme Rocher was one of the 5 Groovy despots [1] until a few months ago. He joined the despotry 4 yrs ago, which could have been what prompted the Play! 2 framework to purge itself of all its Groovy code. Groovy really needs its managers to be divorced from those developing the apps that use it, so others will join the ecosystem without being suspicious of what might happen in the future.

- mindcrime 13y agoAxe to grind, much? "Despots"? Really? What, do you work for Typesafe or Relevance or somebody with a vested interested in slagging Groovy, or what?!??
- vorg 13y agoThey call themselves "despots" in the link you replied to. Btw, I don't work for any company with a vested interest against Groovy, but am reimplementing Groovy as a side project. I think Groovy and its apps like Grails should be kept separate if they developers to build things using Groovy, like in pretty much every other language.
- mindcrime 13y agoInteresting. I'm guessing that was meant to be mostly tongue in cheek, much like referring to Guido as the "Benevolent Dictator for Life" of Python. Btw, I don't work for any company with a vested interest against Groovy, but am reimplementing Groovy as a side project. Sounds pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
