This Week in Grails (2013-02)

Thursday, January 17th, 2013

Graeme wrote about the new Aether-based depedency resolution approach in 2.3. Aether is missing a few features that Ivy has but makes up for that in several ways, in particular by being significantly faster.

The Groovy team released an RC of Groovy 2.1. Lots of cool stuff there, the most interesting to me being support for invokedynamic. This promises to bring huge performance increases without any annotations or code changes (as long as you’re using a JDK version that supports it).
