Just wondering if *any* of the Cocoon developers are using
Groovy at all; or is just a "bolt on" feature in Cocoon that is not
perceived of any use for real applications ("Real Developers use Java")?
I have posted a few simple Groovy-related questions in the past
few days, and the lack of any response worries me. I am thinking I
should just drop this now before I get into deeper waters & go back
to Flow which is written in Javascript, but at least there are examples
for what I want to do.
{A sidebar: there is something really appealing about Groovy -
from the POV of someone who has struggled to get "into" Java -
and the notion of a language that is as simple to use as Python,
feature-rich and with *immediate* access to all Java libraries [only
as needed] is very compelling. I do not have the technical vision
for it, but the possibility of a completely Groovy-powered Cocoon
seems not impossible -- in other threads there have been calls for
more simplicity and directness to make Cocoon more accessible ;
surely the use of a single, powerful scripting language - which could
power everything from writing custom generators and actions, to
handling flow and even (in limited cases) complex templates - is a
attractive option?! End Sidebar}
