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. * New function for integers to reverse bits. * Concatenate string with null object. 'Test'+null will produce 'Test'. * Function/Global method 'NVL'. This method avoid null/empty string value of object. E.g. NVL(null,'Test')='Test' and NVL('','Test')='Test' * Joining of list without null elements. e.g. [null,'Hello','world',null].join(' ') will produce 'Hello world' * Simple and Robust way of executing external processes instead of using ProcessBuilder. Make the convenient string.execute() handle blocked IO streams / threading so users are not required know or understand about ProcessBuilder * Import Static. Just like in Java 1.5. * More Enumerable methods for lists, arrays and maps (like map, pluck, invoke, ...) * Make logical operators (||, &&...) return the value instead of the boolean equivalent eg. - Make a list and create an auto mapping:
