-1 I only want Java syntax with as little scripty features as possible. The thing that appeals to me the most about BeanShell is that it aims to provide embedable scriptable Java. I believe adding Icon/Eiffel/Python/etc... features would make the language so difficult to learn people won't bother. I look at the language features Groovy is incorporating and I know that I'll likely never find the time to understand them, and I'll likely never be able to read Groovy code that uses them. I want to stick with what I'm comfortable with and that's just plain Java. When I embed BeanShell I want to provide people with a scripting language built on a well-known and understood syntax - Java. Perhaps this issue is what will separate BeanShell and Groovy. -- VoIP SIP:[email protected] Free calendar client and server - works with Exchange/Outlook/Yahoo!
