Grails 1.0 RC1
Unfortunately, I missed this big news a couple weeks back: Grails has gone 1.0 RC1. Congratulations to Graeme Rocher and the entire Grails community for this major milestone. I’ve experimented with Grails and have kept up with the platform’s progress for the last 18months or so. And getting to 1.0 has been a long, hard slog.
Grails is what allows you to leverage that giant portion of your abilities that is deeply invested in Java web app technology, but while operating in an efficient, sensible, and pleasant Groovy scripting mode. And it’s what will allow a lot of developers to remain in the Java ecosystem, instead of turning, for some good reasons, to RoR.
For this Grails alternative, and a quantum of taming the Java web app development process, we owe Graeme and the team a healthy dose of gratitude.
Nice job, all.
