At Netflix a lot of teams have started choosing Groovy and Grails to build apps for in-house use and for business partners to use. In other words, web apps that don't need the highest commitment to scalability and are usually managed by small teams. My job is full time on a cloud deployment utility app written in Grails, with some JavaScript. I know of at least 3 other teams using Grails. I started an internal Grails email discussion list and 17 people joined right away, so there are probably a few more Grails apps within Netflix.
Pretty much all of Netflix's public facing services are written in Java. The Groovy usage is very small in comparison to the Java. My coworker is starting a Scala project, which might be the first significant Scala project at the company. Paul, thanks for the tip about CodeNarc. I'll have to try that out. As my app grows it does get a little tiresome to have occasional type checking errors. Carl and I talked about all this recently on the Grails Podcast if you're interested in more details: http://grailspodcast.com/blog/id/244 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
