2009 Session: Comparing Groovy & JRuby
Wednesday, 14:15 - 15:05
Track: Effective Languages
Life used to be so simple in the Java world. The only real decisions you had to make was which dozen frameworks to use in your project. Now, dynamic languages have invaded Java land, and you now have lots of choices. But, to the casual observer, JRuby and Groovy look like pretty much the same thing, with slightly different syntax. Nothing could be further from the truth. While they both share lots of commonalities, they are also quite different.
Expectations
This session delves into those differences, providing the attendees with enough concrete facts to make decisions.
