Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

Groovy RC 1 any day now

About two and a half months ago, the Groovy project blogged that they would be releasing their first version 1.0 release candidate in a couple of months.

They said they hoped to ship a final 1.0 release about a month after that.

Looks like Groovy will be going 1.0 final around mid-2006. It is kind of neat, since Groovy so closely resembles the Ruby language.

Ruby, whose famous Rails framework went 1.0 final late last year, earlier this month issued a 1.1 final release. Just last weekend, Go Daddy! announced that they were offering Ruby On Rails and Ruby CGI with all their server hosting plans except the very cheapest one. That means if you can afford $6.99/month, you can afford a Ruby On Rails host.

It seems likely that the praise and attention paid to Ruby will shine more attention on Groovy this spring.

Groovy - News:
I'm pleased to announce the release of Groovy JSR-05. This is the last release of the JSR-xx line. The next release will be the first RC-x release before the final 1.0.

You can read more about our updated roadmap here:

We're planning to release RC-1 in about two months, and the final Groovy 1.0 release should be out in about three months.
