Hi Peter, I work at a financial company (a forex dealer) in Toronto. My team is currently starting to use Groovy in the periphery of what we do: things like log analysis and other tools for in-house use. We plan to replace our Ant + Ivy build with a Gradle build in the coming weeks. We're pretty excited about shedding the XML from our build files!
We don't presently have any Groovy code in direct production use, largely because our team's product is the applet/webstart trading UI and we have to keep the download small. If we were to embrace a dynamic language in our production code, we'd have our hands forced toward JavaScript simply because it's already available in the JRE. Dick has raised a similar issue on the podcast a few times regarding Scala on Android: bundling the runtime libraries with the apps is just not feasible. As for the culture at our company (I think your original question was driving at this), I imagine it would be pretty easy to get approval for a groovy-based backend component if someone wanted to make one. Hope that helps! -Jonathan On Mar 29, 2011 8:11 AM, "Peter A Pilgrim" <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe it would help if those guys (and gals) from those countries > actually chimed in with those details themselves.
