Hi,

a) I really like the concept of Ruby's open classes which allows you to modify build-in classes. Is something similar possible in Groovy or do you plan adding such a feature?

b) Do you think the startup time of the VM is a problem for a scripting language?

Yes there are several ways of modifying the behaviour of a class in Groovy.


I gave a talk on this subject at the last UK Groovy user Group meeting.

You can download my presentation here http://skillsmatter.com/menu/398

I believe that SkillsMatter are going to be posting the video they took of both talks some time soon.
