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.
