No offence, @glaforge – but I've heard these Grails arguments, and I find none of them convincing. I do actually like Groovy, though.
@dehora My main reason to prefer Rails over Grails: community, dynamics, available libraries (+JRuby), it's the original. YMMV.
@altosz I object to Grails being considered the "safe" way to go by some, while the Rails community/ecosystem still has 100 times the size.
@fridgebuzz I have nothing at all against Groovy; but I claim idiomatic Groovy and (J)Ruby are almost equal.
@fridgebuzz Groovy easier than Ruby? Disagree. Only if you don't really use it.
@dehora I count Spring (and less so, Hibernate) as counterarguments. I see no reason why you'd need dependency injection with a dynamic lang
@altosz Main political reason for choosing Grails over Rails: enterprisey ignorance

@dehora wondering why people would prefer Groovy/Grails to JRuby/Rails, except for political reasons
Looking forward to seeing Jethro Tull perform tonight – been a fan for ~25 of their 42 years of existence
@phil76 frankly, while I might share some opinions, I can't help but find "manifests" a little childish
Did any of you following folks attend my #qcon talk today? If so, please provide feedback here – I honestly have no idea whether it was good
Finally, back home from #qcon. Great conference - Rich Hickey's talk remains my favorite, with Michael Nygard's a close second.

#qcon Rich Hickey talk is likely going to be my favorite talk this year
in classical OO: many direct references to immutable objects – in Clojure: indirect references to immutable objects #qcon
all Clojure data structures work by efficient copying of values (path copying in tries) #qcon
