Sorry to turn this into a framework war, but as someone who made the move from Groovy/Grails to Scala/Play Framework, I can't imagine ever going back. Or in other words, my answer to "A or B?" is "C".
- derpshmerp 12y agoMy experience with Scala Play was very different. Scala is an interminably difficult language fraught with pitfalls. It's much easier to write unreadable Scala code than Groovy.
- mcv 12y agoAgreed. Groovy is in my opinion absolutely the nicest and friendliest language to read or write. Scala has some really cool features that I would love to see in other languages, but it also has a tendency to become somewhat unreadable and is a lot harder to get into when you're new to it.
- johnkpush 12y agoGroovy is gaining popularity among scientists and researchers because of it's ease of use and performance.
- zmmmmm 12y agoReally? I've been using it but I feel pretty lonely. I ended up creating my own Groovy based version of R / pandas data frames because there is simply nothing out there. I'm curious in what ways you're seeing it used.
