Groovy Invaders
Clifton Craig has started an interesting series over on his blog called Groovy Invaders where he is attempting to write a space invaders game in Groovy using JOGL for the graphics routines.
I know I don’t have time to follow this but it is interesting to see the diversification of what people are doing with Groovy and the increasing usage of the language in new and interesting areas. I’ve already blogged on what I think of Grails which seems to me to offer all of the advantages of Ruby On Rails but with application server support and a smaller learning curve for Java programmers.
We are also using Groovy at work in a limited way to provide us some functionality in our ant build environment.
Groovy is one of those languages that when you “get” it makes you wonder why you were doing things any other way.
