The Bayesian Conspiracy is a multinational, interdisciplinary, and shadowy group of scientists. It is rumored that at the upper levels of the Bayesian Conspiracy exist nine silent figures known only as the Bayes Council.

Groovy for bioinformatics.

I'll have a lot to say about Groovy for bioinformatics in this blog. Until I have time to write some posts on the topic here is Mark Fortner's brief comparison of how Groovy stacks up to Perl for bioinformatics. Mark has also set up a BioGroovy project wiki.

    I have been working to learn Groovy, largely because I like the design of Rails, but I just don't want to spend the time needed to learn Ruby. I wanted to add one caveat to the Groovy is Java meme. The problem is array initialization. In groovy, you can create a list with the rather sane syntax of
    String[] myArray = ["0", "1", "2"]; However, Java is more C-like and the equivalent syntax is
    String[] myArray = {"0", "1", "2"}; In retrospect, the Java syntax is wierd, but it was first. In any case, it is interesting to see that groovy is gaining some ground in bioinformatics. (April 6, 2009 at 12:29 PM) top
