Language implementations I like: Groovy, Scala, JRuby, Rhino, Kawa, Nice.... take 5 of them.
there is a difference in quality between them. I like Scala, Nice, Rhino and Kawa not because of their implementation and integration, but because of the ideas they bring to the JVM. Sadly Nice seems to be dead meat, well that's another story. I also like very much some ideas in Scala. And even though I am a Groovy developer I am not a dynamic language fanatic. A well made static language can be much fun and if you need certain dynamic features you emulate them. as for Groovy... I am quite biased here of course. and JRuby... I must say I never used it really. Groovy has so many equal or nearly equal concepts with Ruby, that the language is most of the time no reason to us it over Groovy for me. The interesting part in JRuby is the implementation. bye blackdrag -- Jochen "blackdrag" Theodorou The Groovy Project Tech Lead (http://groovy.codehaus.org) http://blackdragsview.blogspot.com/ http://www.g2one.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
