the question im asking, is it worth to learn a new language like groovy?

  • 0

the question im asking, is it worth to learn a new language like groovy? cause if i learn groovy, it feels like i code in groovy and not java. and how smart is that when i have to be good in java to code desktop applications too in the future. so if i use groovy a lot for web applications, i will just be worse and have to start over to be good in java when i code desktop applications right?

so why don´t I just stick with java and be good at ONE language instead of having to switch between 2 languages and their syntax. Cause it would be so confusing…

    This seems like a more general question about learning programming languages than learning a new language (Groovy) which runs on top of the Java Virual Machine.

    Here’s a question:

    Suppose you are learning a foreign language because you want to be fluent in multiple languages so you can converse with many people. You’re learning German right now, but you’re getting good at it, but you also want to learn Spanish. Would you just suddenly forget German if you start to learn Spanish? If you are indeed worried that you will, what would you do?

    If you were going to learn Groovy, but don’t want to forget how to write Java, then why not continue to use both languages at the same time?

    One of the things about being a programmer is going to be learning to adapt to new technologies as they come along. It’s a good thing to be able to learn new languages, as it’s going to be a skill that’s going to be very useful in a field which is constantly changing.
