Tooling question by Luciano Fiandesio

Great presentation, thanks for sharing. Do you know which kind of setup Venkat is using in order to display the results of the evaluated expressions as "pop ups". I can see that he's using TextMate but how to enable this kind of features in TextMate?

Thanks

Great! by Mengu Kagan

This is a great talk and presentation. I'd like to congratulate Mr. Subramaniam. I can say that I really got upset when I saw the talk was ending.

Superb! by Nachiket Patel

Excellent presentation.
I started learning groovy + grails in 2009, found Grails too slow for development, and somehow got misconception that Alone groovy doesnt make much sense..
But after watching this presentation, Will try Groovy for sure.

Now I need to find a Grails presentation. =)
