A Pythonista trying to convince a world of Java heads to do it another way?  Your cries for sanity will be lost in the "public static void".

In other news, Bill Gates announced today that next month Linux, also, will be Windows.


Ironically, Jython's name hinders it: folks, this _is_ marketing we're talking about.  These are brand names.

Groovy is a pretty good name, I think.  Python is pretty groovy.  Maybe Groovy will be pretty Java?

Anyone got any "Groovy" code examples?


I suddenly feel like I need a hot cup of coffee and some quiet time - cuddling a reptile?
