I did this code kata some weeks ago at an internal conference at work. I solved it using Scala, and learned quite a bit from repeating the task several times.
The source code is available at GitHub.

For quite some time I’ve been unaware of the possibility to run all JUnit tests from within Eclipse. I thought the only way it could be done (besides using Maven etc) was to manually create test suites. What I’ve done “wrong” is just doing a “Run as JUnit test” on the packages. Turns out you can also do thins on a source folder, causing every JUnit test in that folder to execute!
Just a short Sunday blog post
I just noticed a link popping up on Twitter from @DZone with the message; “Will Groovy spell the end of Scala?”. Following the link it turned out that it actually wasn’t Groovy, but Groovy++. Groovy++ introduces static typing without losing the dynamic benefits and powers. Read more in the blog post and also check out this article on Groovy++.
In the blog post there is also a link to a podcast show named Illegal Argument. This show is discussing topics related to Java and the JVM. I haven’t listened to it yet, but I will!
So I’ve decided to wipe out the previous content of my blog and start over from scratch. Why? Well first of all, no one will miss it. Second, I hope that I will start blogging more in 2010. Mainly as a tool for my personal learning.
Currently this blog is very minimalistic. Both when it comes to content and design. Hopefully both will enhance and expand from now on!
