Currently I’m staying at copenhagen at the GR8Conf (Grooy<\/a>, Grails<\/a> and Griffon confernence). In the talk of the day by Guillaume Laforge<\/a> about DSLs he showed the following code:<\/p>\n

[sourcecode language=”groovy”]
\nclass CurrencyAmount {
\n Number amount
\n String currency
\n String toString() { "$amount $currency" }
\n}<\/p>\n

Number.metaClass.getEuros {->
\nnew CurrencyAmount(amount:delegate, currency:"EUR")}<\/p>\n

10.euros
\n\/\/Output: 10 EUR

It is really interesting to see where in the java world the language evolvement happend. It’s a bit similiar (I’m careful here, because I do not know groovy very well) to the extension methods in .Net.<\/p>\n

For me groovy and grails are very interesting technologies, so I will stay up to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
