Re: What projects use Groovy as its main development language ?

[Leonid Schleicher]

Since 2008 I maintain Groovy CMS/CMF for my company, written from 
scratch completely in groovy. Basically it is MVC over Servlet. It uses 
many java components such as Hibernate as model layer (all model classes 
are Groovy classes and Hibernate configuration is groovy config files, 
converted runtime to properties), but whole controller layer is 
statically compiled groovy code, that will be packed as *.class files 
into WAR. So, all the backend code is Groovy. There is only one type of 
resources in backend - XSLT files, used as view layer via Saxon. And yes 
- this is java web application without Spring. Since then over 100 
implementations were made - shops, sites, news resources. Groovy 
performs well and easy to develop and support.

This is definitely not DSL nor scripting
