As with all other possible alternate technologies and practices, if you really like something the thing to do is a proof of concept project.
For a really simple project you could re-implement the example application on your preferred technology. That would at least be a starting point for comparison of the technologies and development approaches. Beyond that some parts of different apps could be built out to further demonstrate the superiority of the new tools. Without that, I guess there really isn't much to discuss, and that's fine because also without that it's clear that no one really cares a whole lot about it (unless of course someone else does all the work!). -David On Feb 25, 2010, at 10:42 PM, Miles Huang wrote: > > On Thu, 2010-02-25 at 05:31 -0800, Chris Snow-2 [via OFBiz] wrote: >> Plugins could be used for separating the modules, this will be more >> interesting in Grails 2.0 when the plugin framework will use OSGi - >> http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-2221 >> > > This is a good side witness on the correctness of "Don't re-invent > wheels".
