Griffon, the holy grail of Swing, is one year old

Posted by: Guillaume LaForge on 2009-09-10 10:02:00.0

Time flies, soooo fast! Griffon, the Groovy MVC framework for building desktop applications, is already one year old. Developers know Groovy and Grails very well, but there are many other Groovy-based tools and frameworks, and Griffon is a very nice and successful animal of the Groovy ecosystem.

Others are already celebrating this first anniversary on twitter, as well as in the blogosphere, like some of the Griffon developers:

With tons of plugins, books in the writing, Griffon is really gaining a lot of momentum and mindshare!

Happy Birtday! Long live the Griffon!
