Hi Daniel,
this is all extremely hypothetical (and a bit off-topic) of course - but
I would not remove any of the existing languages, just add Groovy.
People could still interoperate with Java (of course) and execute agents
written in LotusScript. But I do not think many people would actually
stay with LotusScript once they have seen how much more
pleasant/powerful using Groovy is (e.g. try-catch-finally instead of "on
error goto/gosub" (*shudder* ;-) )). Formula language one could keep - I
just wanted to point out that one could very well use Groovy here
also... :-)
The platform has not been treated well in the past decade, but it would
not need much to make it attractive (given tha e.g. NoSQL,
fullt-text-search, replication, security, multi-user, RAD and all are
already in place) again, and Groovy would in theory be very well suited
to part of that. It would be good if a sizeable alternative to MS
continued to thrive imho - choice is good...
Cheers,
mg

Hi mg,
I'm a bit surprised to hear the news because Lotus Domino is one of
famous product of IBM.
If Domino would replace its existing languages with Groovy , that would
be great. But I'm afraid to push the progress, because the existing
languages are widely used by its users, and its users have invested a lot
to develop their own function in the languages.
However they can consider supporting Groovy in Domino :-)
Cheers,
