Martin Fowler on his bliki (part blog, part wiki) has a new entry about the ongoing debate about using Groovy or JRuby on the Java VM. I really don’t have a problem with anything he wrote there. I agree that both languages are interesting and worth developers getting to know and that Ruby probably has the edge on where things are going in the future. But one of the largest driving factors as to why a development team might choose either Groovy or JRuby wasn’t covered at all. So with apologies to both Martin Fowler and Ronald Reagan (not that I think he’s particularly upset with my hijacking of one of his more famous lines) I’d like to make my small addition.
