It seems strange that something associated with Groovy in this way,
requires Ruby rather than Groovy. I'm all for polyglot programming but
this one does seem strange.

Hi Russel,

Yes, I do understand your *strageness*.

GroovyServ needs a client which can be run quickly asap. So a native client is provided in a basic binary package for each specified platform.

But if you cannot use a native client because, for example, your environment is something special, you can use a ruby client instead.

This time I wanted to make a platform independent binary package, i.e. not including a native client.

I could make it with only a ruby client. But I just felt just as same as you.

So I've written new groovyclient.sh by shellscript which is more neutral language than ruby ;-)

The ruby client is just insurance.

At next version, I'll try to provide a way to build a native client easily and to replace the restricted shellscript client with it.

Regards,

Yasuharu
