i enjoyed the video very much and forwarded it on to colleagues. It's a terrific idea for people who haven't done ANY of these things before. They haven't done scala, no groovy let alone grails . . . .no jruby . . . .maybe played with ruby .... lot's of python and certainly haven't ever had much interest in clojure (nevermind compojure or cascade). In fact a lot of people I know loath most things JVM.
... But, whenever they think about giving this whole jvm thing another try, they think about groovy (hoping the reports of speed improvements are true). So being able to tell them that it's ok to try clojure because they won't be missing out on grails is a GREAT thing. As for compojure ... I'm greatful for it because it taught me about slicehost (thanks to Eric Lavigne's tutorial), but I could never figure out how to make it do much beyond what that tutorial talked about. Maybe I should give it a try again, myself, but this grails video was at least as awesome as any of that, so thank you for it. - Eli On Sun, Jul 19, 2009 at 10:26 PM, Daniel Renfer <d...@kronkltd.net> wrote: > > On Sun, Jul 19, 2009 at 8:01 PM, Vagif Verdi<vagif.ve...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On Jul 19, 4:19 pm, "Howard M.
