I wonder if Groovy will be truly stable before your scripting language, MetroJ, becomes truly...]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2005 23:28:34 -0400 Tue, 12 Apr 2005 23:28:34 -0400 Tue, 12 Apr 2005 23:28:34 -0400 Apr 12, 2005 Cameron Purdy 0 To: Radu-Adrian Popescu http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=33157 At least I'm in a good company.

Although it would have felt more sincere if you'd made it _before_ I sent a brief link to this thread to the Burton Group Manager of Public Relations.
