Grails is a high productivity framework for JVM, based on Groovy language. It has been around since 2006. Since then, innumerable sites have successfully been launched using the framework. Below are 15 reasons that make Grails the web development framework of choice:

Build orchestration and automation has always been a tricky problem, especially once we start crossing application boundaries. Several tools in he Java ecosystem, such as ant and maven, have taken a stab at this problem.
A relatively new entrant to this space is Gradle. Built using Groovy it offers an extremely flexible means of describing builds with only as much text as is absolutely necessary thanks to it’s powerful plugin infrastructure and sensible conventions borrowed from existing tools.
This session will introduce the audience to Gradle, the various DSLs used to describe builds as well as the plugin infrastructure that allows for extending Gradle’s capabilities.
Simplifying Builds with Gradle was presented at 6th Annual IndicThreads.com Conference On Java, December 2011, Pune, India. Presentation – Slides

However while a downward trend for the Java language might be visible, I do not think there’s any downward trend for the Java platform as a whole. Continue reading »
While some find Groovy language still in its infancy, others know that there is now Groovy++ and are all eyes and ears on what “++” of the language is going to bring, which itself was touted by some as Java++. Continue reading »
