Well.. 15 years is not a small time period. Yes, Java has survived! Java has been my favorite. But from quite some time, when i look at Java programming language, this question comes into my mind - "Is Java giving me enough power to express my thoughts (logic) easily?". Every time I felt the answer is "NO".
There were already efforts to develop new languages targeted at java platform. However i had not shown any interest towards them until i read an article on Scala by Bill Venners. After few weeks, i happened to hear Venkat Subramanyam speaking about groovy in an interview podcast. This was the event which triggered me to get into action and start learning groovy.
This blog is about my learning in languages like groovy.
Java without Java => Java, the platform without Java, the language !!
