继续 is 21 strokes when printed, but less when foreigners in China like me write them when we handwrite them quickly. 继 is 5 strokes handwritten (纟,䒑,丨,八,乚 each written in one stroke) and 续 is 4 (纟,十over乛,氵,人 each as one stroke), so that&#x27

Does the advertised book give examples of using Kotlin, as well as Apache Groovy, with Gradle and Android Studio? If not, then it's out of date very soon when Gradle 3 is released.

The Sun and Moon appearing the same size means there's a corona during a solar eclipse. I don't think the corona appears if the Moon is larger than the Sun. It's the corona that's spectacular, and it could even have jolt

Interesting to note the major differences between IEEE's and TIOBE's lists. Apache Groovy is in TIOBE's top 20, but nowhere in IEEE's top 48. Arduino is in IEEE's top 20, but nowhere in TIOBE's top 50. http:&#

Apache Groovy's perfect for these kind of tasks where it doesn't need to be lightweight. Just don't use it for building actual applications -- build them in a decent typed language like Java, Scala, or Kotlin, then use Groovy

The backers of Apache Groovy also tried the trick of sneaking in a new JVM language by offering tooling, testing, etc. But Groovy only had the dynamic language available, so there was nothing else there if people wanted to use it to build

After its leadership changed in 2005, Groovy was commandeered to be primarily a scripting language for Grails. A Ruby-like meta-object protocol was added to Groovy so Grails would be Rails-like. Groovy's never really broken free of thi
