This Week in Grails (2013-14)

SpringSource has moved from VMware to EMC as part of Pivotal. Check out Adrian Colyer’s blog post for information about how this will affect Grails, Groovy, and Spring and what the future looks like for us.

The Groovy team did an extensive interview with ZeroTurnaround, lots of interesting stuff there.

Happy Birthday to Grails, the 0.1 release was 7 years ago.

I wrote a blog post about a new plugin that integrates Netty with Grails. It will probably take an integration into Grails core to see real benefits, but there should be some opportunities to improve scalability and performance with this plugin.
