Please use this page to document all the ideas and wishes you'd like to see in Groovy.
- Support standard for statement. (Note: supported by the JSR grammar.)
e.g. for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {...
I don't know whether the standard for statement is still not implemented till beta-10, or Groovy will not support it in 1.0 release. - Notion of Performer (initially developped in Smalltalk by Didier Simoneau) : _
The idea is have a means to define a delayed message sending to an object. It is quite similar to a block which is evaluated later, but under the form of an object._
The chosen syntax defined by Didier was_
def aPerformer = aTargetObject << aMethodSymbol;_
aPerformer.evaluate(); // to execute later the method on an object._
The main purpose of the performer is to be used with GUI adaptors, ie the ability to define callbacks easily;_
Example : _
aButton.onDownClick(delegatedObject << #click); //#click is similar to the Smalltalk symbol concept representing a method
