Hi MG, Not sure of the context for the question but I am the developer of Solvent ( codesolvent.com), it is a platform for doing web development via JSR-223 with Groovy being the primary language. The solvent developer environment is itself a web application (Java) with a back-end built entirely in Groovy via the JSR-223 Groovy scripting engine.
It is a commercial product, granted that part is still a work in progress. I chose Groovy primarily because I am a Java developer so I didn't have to learn anything new, I do use the occasional Groovy language feature but otherwise have mostly stuck to Java syntax. The product ships with the source code ready to edit, thus you can modify the IDE itself directly. Feel free to sign-up and try it, there is free trial once you log in. -Edmond On Fri, Jun 26, 2020 at 7:40 PM MG <mg...@arscreat.com> wrote: > Hi Paul, > > I was looking for something more concrete, so maybe someone on this > projects could post here :-) > > What I meant by "just" a script language or DSL (both valid Groovy uses, > of course) was, if 99% of the code is Java, and Groovy is used for e.g. a > small DSL for customers to use, or for some internal/rollout/... scripting > tasks. > I assume most Grails projects will be written mostly in Groovy, so they > naturally would qualify R6-) > > Cheers, > mg > > > On 27/06/2020 01:20, Paul King wrote: > > I have worked on numerous such projects in Australia in the past but > aren't in contact with those teams at the moment.
