Grails gets centre stage for being used by Wired.com in it’s new ‘Product Reviews’ site area.  Needless to say, I was unsurprised by (and in full agreement with) the following statements in the release:

• Our developers are much happier developing in Grails because they can accomplish tasks so much faster.
• Grails makes it easier and saves time bringing new developers onto a project, because it provides a simpler, clearer, more intuitive development workfl ow and process
• From a maintenance perspective, Grails simplifies debugging and reduces debugging time
• Grails makes it much easier for Wired.com to test the Product Review application

And finally… in case it wasn’t clear enough… 

• Grails makes it easier to focus on what we are trying to accomplish, in terms of business objectives, without having to think too much about all the wiring or boilerplate code typical of many Java based web applications.
