@monorail hell yeah where do I start
@monorail oh I love writing evil code I would probably like code golf
@monorail teach me, master
Groovy is supposed to be a superset of Java but there are situations where that isn't true. For one thing, the syntax which initializes an array in Java ({ 1, 2, 3 }
) is syntactically ambiguous with something groovy made up called "closures" that I am not going to explain, but only if the array has a single element. If there are multiple elements the syntax is not ambiguous and things are fine
Because of this I passed a closure to something written in Java that expected an array of strings BUT IT DID NOT THROW AN EXCEPTION???????
@vaporeon_ it is a scripting language that runs on a JVM and can interface with existing Java code. It's what JavaScript sounds like it supposed to be
I think it sucks a little but but it can be fun sometimes
@monorail nope
@vaporeon_ no it is a groovy script
@monorail hell yeah
@Lady I never use debuggers tbh
