When Ruby and rails were red and red, Java fans were not idle, and groovy was developed as a response to Ruby. Now, the response to rails is also coming ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Groovy on rails (grails) 0.1 (0.1 is not 1.0) released
Thanks to the mature and powerful Java virtual machines, database drivers, and third-party class libraries, grails does not need to implement much from the ground up. In essence, grails is integrated with spring, hibernate, sitemesh and other basic libraries provide unified grooy-based interfaces externally. These interfaces do not need to be carefully designed. Just copy them according to the current API of rails. From this perspective, I think it is not hard for grails to imitate or even surpass rails/
In addition, grails provides additional functions including AOP support, dynamic taglib, JSP and groovy servers page (GSP) support, and other Java extended technologies. With grails, we can be immediately on a mature and powerful Java virtual machine, on a mature and powerful Java Database driver, on a mature and powerful third-party library of Java, I wrote the application in rails !!! So happy.
Wait ~.... What we can get now is version 0.1 .... why is it 0.1 now? The speed is really slow. I remember rails is still 0. at the time of X, we heard about grails. Now rails is 1.1, and we can see that it is still version 0.1. if grails really only wraps mature class libraries such as spring, hibernate, and sitemesh, I don't really think about what grails developers have been doing for more than half a year (as if it was almost a year? The only possible problem lies in groovy. Is the language mature? Robbin said there is an insider about the slow development of groovy... curious about Ing. I can't simply use jruby. At least people have upgraded again this month.
