from the you-decide dept.

Many mature startups are rewriting their interpreted code for performance reasons. Typically they choose a JVM language for both speed and access to Java libraries. Lately, both Clojure and Scala have received much press. Which Language is your preferred JVM Language?

Groovy doesn't get enough press in HN but I would think Groovy is practically the most widely used of them all just because of Grails. I prefer Scala when I am doing backend stuffs but use Groovy/Grails for web stuffs.

I gave Jython some love since I'm currently using it for work ;) It's actually pretty cool
