JRuby

WOH!  I wasn’t very excited about JRuby until I went to the “JRuby on Rails” session at RailsConf 2007! Check it out.  Also, check out GlassFish from Sun (an open source application server).

Rails for Java

Filed under: Computing, Java, Software — Jason Rogers @ 11:18 am

Grails is a Rails-like framework for Groovy, which runs atop Java.

It uses Ant to take care of code generation. I haven’t played with it yet, just read through some of the tutorials. It seems pretty interesting. Maybe I will re-implement the Radar in Grails.

Oh, that’s ironic

I was reading an article about 'RefrigeratorCode' on the Object Mentor blog site

A comment on that site took me to another blog describing the same thing but calling it 'CodeNaked'.

That blog has a link to an Artima article called Why Software Sucks. I thought that was an interesting sounding article so I followed the link. I got the following on that page:

JAVA:
  1.     at blah,blah,blah
  2.     at blah,blah,blah
  3.     ...

Now that's ironic!
