Hi Valentin,
with Groovy maybe one should consider doing a "Groovy" and "Groovy
(Static)", since not all dynamic solutions a valid for the @CompilStatic
case ?
Additional points:
1. I might contribute, as time allows.
2. Havig said that: Just go to
https://mrhaki.blogspot.com/search/label/Groovy, copy & link back to
Mr. Hubert A. Klein Ikkink's site and you should be all set ;-)
3. I had to laugh so hard when I saw the Cobol version of what is
"s.startsWith(prefix)" in pretty much any other language - thank god
I am young enough to have missed that :-)
Some general site feedback:
1. I found it confusing that there can be more than one tab per
language (e.g. for C++), especially if one idiom is clearly inferior
to the other
2. If multiple versions were allowed, a voting system might be the way
to go - or someone curating each language...
3. I would have expected the landing page to not only display a search
box, but also an (categorized) idiom list. I know the current web
design meta is "as simple/barren as humanly possible", but the small
link icon at the bottom that leads to a menu, where you can then get
this infromation under "All idioms" or "Language coverage" is easy
to miss.
4. Speaking of "categorized idiom list": To be able to quickly filter
after idioms relating to e.g. "threads" or "strings" would imho
generally be helpful
5. On the other hand like the cheat sheet feature (though I find the
name misleading), since oftentimes being able to just search/browse
in a complete result set in the browser can imho be a good way to
find what you are looking for (and maybe discover something you were
not looking for*) :-)
6. Being able to have two languages displayed side by side in the
"cheat sheet" view would be great for comparing languages
Cheers,
mg
*In the category of "So close, but not Groovy" I stumbled upon the fact
that it seems Kotlin still does not have a list/map literal syntax:
https://programming-idioms.org/idiom/8/initialize-a-new-map-associative-array
**; the Java-like solution looks to be the best of the 3 solutions
offered, but it comes with a "use only if performance isn't critical"
caveat...
(see also https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/pull/112 ;
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/constructing-collections.html)
**Is it possible to link directly to a specific language version of an
idiom ?

Hello folks
I admin https://programming-idioms.org/about and I'd like to add
Groovy to the list of available languages. The website is a collection
of "how to do X in language Y".
My friend Guillaume Laforge advised me to ask this mailing list for
help! The goal is to encourage contribution of quality contents so it
can actually be helpful to a beginner or seasoned groovyist visitor.
A quality contribution is a snippet that is correct, concise, having
an explanation, a link to the official docs, and ideally a link to an
online demo. For example at
https://programming-idioms.org/idiom/96/check-string-prefix some
implementations are high-quality, but not all of them.
Writing a correct snippet takes about 3mn, while writing a
high-quality contribution easily takes over 15mn.
Before I open the gates by adding Groovy in the system, I'd like to
know if some of you would be willing to contribute and curate some
contents?
Thank you in advance
Valentin
