Over a IndicThreads.com they have a good interview with Guillaume Laforge who is a Project Manager for Groovy. I've never used Groovy before so an introduction like that provided in the interview is a welcomed thing. I'm not sure if Groovy and GRails will be Java's anwser to Ruby on Rails or Python but I'm trying to stay open-minded. Based on the large number of hits I got on my post entitled Java's Answer to Ruby on Rails it is pretty obvious that there are others in the Java community with similiar concerns. Check out the interview here.
