Comment on Why groovy by Bobby

I understand your reasons. Truly I do. Most people would agree. Groovy is an easier, more understandable and more straightforward language to use for programming. The problem is the complexity of Java makes it flexible and more dynamic.

Same experience as I had in the past few months. I still wish some days Desktop Linux e.g. Ubuntu could somehow compare with the notorious windows. But at the moment i prefer to stick to my macbook air :p

I totally agree with your ideas. Though Scala and Groovy are similar in most aspects, groovy is more dynamic and can be customized to your needs more efficiently. Groovy is more influenced by Java and Ruby. Though this software is on the slower side when compared with its contemporary ones, the ease with which you can design code and complexity allows you more space to relax and this is where Groovy earns its accolades.

There isn’t much doubt at all that the Windows 7 SP1 beats any desktop flavor of Linux in UI stability, driver support, multi-monitor support, sleep/hibernate, etc

Linux has its niche – it is brilliant for making tight headless images for VM’s in the cloud space, it excels in the embedded space, it is great as a base platform for specialized OS’es like Android.

But desktop linux ? That is indeed dying – even devs who like a command line and a UNIX’ey environment prefer to use OSX.

I just tried to make Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit my desktop OS on my Dell M4400 laptop and had to give it up. The 64-bit NVidia driver needed to support an external monitor worked once, but that was it. It got to the point where Ubuntu would not even boot.

Without drivers to support the vast array of devices that people use with their desktop systems Linux has not chance on the desktop.

The Linux desktop is dead. Long live Linux on servers and embedded devices.

I think Ubuntu is quite stable, but if you need more stability, try LMDE (linux mint debian edition).

“c’mom try to find another reason, if It’s what you want to, to explain why you bought yourself a MAC”: agreed.

I don’t care about installing docks, setting transparency on stuffs and so on, my ubuntu does exactly what i need for work.
“it’s more like a very ugly Mac OS” Well, customize your own.
I can’t even remember the last time I had to restart my machine, actually even the gdm.
