Hi Casper, you've taken it to another level!!!
If what you say is true, I should ditch the JVM and use Node.js because my data is JSon in MongoDb! Thats not how decisions get made corporately. The common, default situation would be to use Java to talk to MongoDb. What I'm saying is that by using Groovy, you can be more productive and have a shallower learning curve. The issue isn't that the data is Json. Its deciding that Java, alone, is not the general purpose language to use always in an app. Cheers Rakesh On 23 January 2012 12:30, Casper Bang <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Monday, January 23, 2012 11:34:25 AM UTC+1, raks wrote: >> >> My new project is the more cutting edge - Java 6(!), MongoDB and the >> JVM layer - Java is ok but Groovy is preferred (we use Grails). >> >> I think polyglot programming will only get bigger and more popular, >> >> especially as the tooling (IDEs and cross compilers) become better. > > > A dynamic language like Groovy can obviously talk to anything, but you loose > toolability/interoperability when dynamic invocation is more than just > opt-in for a specific subsystem.
