I can write a java program, come back after 6 months and still be able to read and understand it in a couple of hours. Is the same true for clojure / groovy? And what about Remote debugging, IDE support (Syntax highlighting / intelisense), Learning curve ? I've done some serious programming in groovy (haven't touched clojure yet) and what I understood is that it makes me very tempting to hack in a solution (because it's very easy) and get it to work (very very rapid) but on the end it results in a bad design. This is only my opinion, I'm not against or favour of groovy / clojure. But I love java :) - Asiri _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
