We already knew those Spring guys were smart…
Well it came out of the blue, but it really was a nice surprise to hear that SpringSource (formerly Interface21) have bought the Groovy and Grails company (G2One).
It seems only fitting that the people behind the best web/EE solutions for Java end up backing the best rapid web development platform for the Java VM, namely Grails.
Congratulations to the team at G2One for brokering this deal. I am very excited about the opportunities this gives Grails to make important inroads into all those “serious” Java development shops who, to date, have felt that Grails/Groovy are “too out there” for them. They couldn’t be more wrong.
You know this to be true when you’ve had a meeting with a manager about some sorely needed features, and within an hour or so of the end of the meeting you’ve got the code working, and as a result some very happy people. Nothing even comes close to Grails in the Java realm.
In these financially difficult times there’s never been a better reason to choose a massively productive framework like Grails – get twice as much (or more) out of your staff, for no extra cost!
