If you’ve been paying attention to the Orange and Bronze guy who talked about Spring Roo, you might have noticed that he mentioned something a bit weird. It was something along the lines of:
…and after that came Ruby on Rails. But Rails never really took off so Groovy and Grails came along and took the spotlight…
Now this statement about RoR is weird when taking into account the previous speakers, especially the G2iX / Exist guys who are successfully using that technology to develop web applications for their clients.
So why did the Spring Roo guy handwave RoR as just a fad?
