InfoQ: JRuby on Grails?
InfoQ: JRuby on Grails? In the beginning God created Ruby. Ruby came with many new possibilities, but was without a good web application framework. God said "there should be Rails" and Rails came into existence.
On the second day came a lot of fuss about Rails.
On the third day Grails was born.
Grails follows the Rails way of "coding by convention", using Groovy, an agile dynamic language for Java. Grails is 15% made of Groovy (the rest being Java) while Rails is 100% Ruby, hence Grails can not be properly called Groovy on Rails. Starting from that simple observation, Charles Nutter, one of the JRuby developer from Sun wonders how Grails could be extended to support any scripting language, especially Ruby.
