How Grails and Micronaut happened

An airhacks.fm conversation with Graeme Rocher (@graemerocher)
about: Playing games with 286, playing digger, starting programming
with quakec, programming custom explosions for rocket launcher with
"shockman", working for a Apache Cocoon company, JavaScript and
Java as second languages, programming learning management SYSTEMS
with Java, publishing motivated by learning, programming over
gaming, using JBoss on the backend, extracting content from Word
with Apache POI and Groovy into XML, using XSLT to convert XML into
HTML, data driven templates with XSLT, data-driven stylesheets is
the way to go, starting with Visual Basic, the raise of Ruby on
Rails, starting Groovy on Rails--Grails, groovy and the "method
missing", "method missing" was heavily used in gorm, working on
SpringData, SpringData and GORM are similar, joining Object
Computing, staying small and be successful, with reflection you
will use more memory at the runtime, micronaut was started by
Graeme Rocher, micronaut is based on annotation processing, there
is no "mobile native" development, on Android reflection is not
used, better error messages was one of the design goals, micronaut
comes with annotation-based introspector, micronaut generates a
reflection-like API based on annotation processors, micronaut was
announced in March 2018 and opensourced in May 2018, CDI was hard
to implement without annotation, micronaut is similar to Spring,
micronaut supports JSR-330 and is TCK-compliant, the Bean
Validation module, micronaut supports micrometer, micronaut teams
grows at Oracle, Visual Studio Code ships with GraalVM Extension
Pack and Micronaut support, micronaut and Helidon are developed by
multiple teams, Oracle actively supports micronaut, micronaut and
GraalVM are great fit, micronaut is complex at compile time, but
simple at runtime, helidon will be able to use the Micronaut Data,
the JAX-RS with micronaut screencast, Object Computing, Google,
Oracle are contributing to micronaut,
