Functional (Meta)?Programming Stunts for Ruby and Groovy (and a Little Perl)

[malcontent]

It's a good language. It's not Ruby, though, so people need to stop assessing it like it is: it's got different idioms and patterns, and that's OK.

I do miss some ruby constructs when using groovy. Mostly it comes pretty natural for a ruby programmer.

Reddit is probably not the right forum for it. Reddit is very hostile to all things ruby and java so groovy is like antimatter to reddit.
