I think two months are sufficent to understand productivity of a language/platform from the "code development" point of view, at least if you are an experienced developer and have a good knowledge of other languages/frameworks/platforms.
I agree that the long-term analisys is always the best and that could be a lot of issue about maintenance and sure, two months aren't sufficent to master specific language features, but you can get a quick overview and feel if it is productive or not.
I don't use too much specific features but Groovy offers a lot of interesting things i may adopt in the future.
Maybe other experienced developers can answer your question better than me.
- chaostheory 13y agoI disagree. Rails also has huge productivity gains in the beginning. Unfortunately with every major release they keep radically changing how things are done. Leading you to either stagnate with an older version or forcing you to do a semi painful upgrade that gets worse the longer you wait. You're not going to realize this in two months. Fortunately Grails doesn't suffer this problem but my point stands: 2 months isn't enough. 1-2 years is more like it.
