That looks nice, but is there any syntax validation possible? I'm
pretty much unwilling to use groovy for anything at this point due
to my bad experiences with lack of pre-runtime syntax validation and
unclear error messages writing some simple gshell commands. xml is
really horrible but most editors do support validation against a
schema.
On the other hand, I think we could come up with something even
shorter, clearer, and to the point, with syntax validation, using
scala.
Why Scala?
