From Groovy To Java 8

Java 8 sports the latest and greatest features of the JVM platform, and introduces new concepts
of asynchronous programming and Lambdas, amongst other syntactic improvements to the
language. Many of the language's upcoming features are concepts and constructs that Groovy
programmers have been familiar with for years.

Ratpack Web Framework

Ratpack is an asynchronous web framework for the JVM that was inspired by the simplistic
nature of Ruby's Sinatra framework. Written in Java, optimized for Groovy and Java 8, Ratpack
sports a high throughput, simplistic interface for rapid development of rich, real-time web
applications.
