Grails Diary - Week 19 in 2015

11 May 2015

The Reactive Streams project was released in version 1.0.0 this week, and since Ratpack is using it, this is one hurdle removed for the Ratpack team reaching 1.0 too!

Peter and Ken did another episode, Ep. 12, of the Groovy Podcast, highlighting stories from the Groovy Ecosystem. One issue they brought up is the mirror of the Apache git repo for Groovy has moved, but all the start haven't. Star your favorite programming language - Groovy now!

Dierk König points out that "Groovy in Action, 2nd edition", chapter 8, is the first complete exposition of all Groovy runtime meta programming capabilities. If you follow Dierk on twitter or search for #ReGinaFacts, more curious facts are available. I'm looking forward to its editing being finalized.

You can do Templating in the client with Groovy using Grooscript as demoed by Jorge Franco. This means you can use the same templates in the server-side and in the client-side

The slides from Marcin Zaj?czkowski's talk on Smarter testing Java code with Spock Framework are available on slideshare, including some features from Spock 1.0. If you know Spock, this is worth checking out.
