Hello,

 

We are a shop using Groovy and Drools to enable end users to write business logic (rules and utility libraries). I was wondering if there are any plans to resurrect Groovy as a dialect?  We may be interested in contributing to such an effort.  Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to implement a dialect? I looked at the Dialect interface and the Java and MVEL implementations a bit, but there seems to be a lot of code there. Any guidance on what the minimum set of functionality is needed to get things working at a basic level?

If you follow how we hook in MVEL that should cover it. We have no direct plans to resurrect Groovy, as MVEL imho provides everything we need and is type safe. As we start to add more verification and anlaysis to Drools type safety will be important.
