I took this out because it was unclear. I meant scripting in the sense that Python and Ruby are called "scripting languages". One possible policy is to use Java for your application, and something like Python to write scripts for stuff like devops or whatever else "scripting" is. Instead of this, I prefer use one language as much as possible, currently Java.
- greatsuccess 13y agoI rolled my own java scripting tool. Its pretty easy to do, but I think that most folks do this with Groovy now.
- vorg 13y agoQuick & dirty scripts for testing and such where speed doesn't matter is Groovy's strength. Its managers at VMware are trying to use the Groovy distro as a delivery channel to sneak other unrelated software into businesses, such as a static compiler and type checker which were written by one person only and have virtually no commercial use. There's many other higher quality languages out there for JVM static compilation, e.g. Java 8, Scala, Ceylon, Kotlin, each of which have far larger teams working on them.
