Groovy

Itest & Remote invocation of parametrized & tokenized builds with Hudson CI

Background:

In one of my previous projects I was asked to setup the environment / automate integration tests (Referred to as Itest from now on) which required a machine with 2 CPU's & 5 GB RAM, this means that in any case a developer wishing to run Itests will never be able to run them locally, and will have to use some existing server.

 

The problem with my previous statement is that the developer, whilst checking his tests will be busy most of the time preparing his Itest environment, rather then checking the integrity of his tests, need I say that the fact we need 2 CPU's & 5GB RAM means the server takes time to load and only once it is up you can start testing.

Maven 3 will be groovy

Maven 3 will have extensive support for Groovy:

  • It will be possible for the pom file itself to be written in Groovy. This means the pom can be created with dynamic code.
  • Executing Groovy code directly at different lifecycle points
  • Short syntax for defining dependencies

 

The pom files will be translated to XML, so tool support (IDE integration) will continue to work.

groovy++ performance

http://stronglytypedblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/java-vs-scala-vs-groovy-vs-groovy.html

 

The blog post compares the performance of quicksort implemented in Java, Scala, Groovy and Groovy++. 

 

(Groovy++ is an effort to create a statically typed variant of Groovy, so that dynamic and static programming can be mixed).

 

Bottom line: Scala and Java compare in performance, Groovy is 512 times slower and Groovy++ is only 42 times slower. This is obviously just a micro-benchmark, but I don't see how manipulating any other sort of data will make the difference in performance smaller.
