initial idea was to make a little dynamic language which
compiles directly to Java classes and provides all the nice
(alleged) productivity beneﬁts

#8: Obey the general contract when
overriding equals
#9: Always override hashCode when
you override equals

AST Transformation
Single point of representation for any
knowledge

!24
List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(10, 20, 30, 40);
for(int i=0; i<numbers.size(); i++){
System.out.println(numbers.get(i));
}

#46: Prefer for-each loops to
traditional for loops

!27
def numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40]
def sum = 0
for(int number in numbers){
sum += number
}
println "Sum: " + sum

!28
numbers.each{ number->
println number
}
println numbers.collect { number ->
number * 2
}
println numbers.inject(0,
{result, number -> result + number }
)
10
20
30
40
[20, 40, 60, 80]
100

!29
Closures
Favor Internal iterators to external iterators
Minimize the moving parts in your code

!30
public static void main( String[] args ) {
float price = 0.1f;
float total = 0;
for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
total += price;
}
System.out.println("Total: " + total);
}
Total: 1.0000001

!31
double price = 0.1;
double total = 0;
for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
total += price;
}
}
Total: 0.9999999999999999

!32
#48: Avoid float and double if exact
answers are required

!33
BigDecimal price = new BigDecimal(0.1);
BigDecimal total = new BigDecimal(0);
for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
total = total.add(price);
}
}
Total: 1.000000000000000055511151231257827021181
5834045410156250

!34
BigDecimal price = new BigDecimal(“0.1”);
BigDecimal total = new BigDecimal(0);
for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
total = total.add(price);
}
}
Total: 1.0

!35
def price = 0.1
def total = 0
10.times {
total += price
}
println "Total: " + total
Total: 1.0

!36
Principle Of Least Astonishment
Select appropriate default

!37
[1, 3, 4, 8, 16, 9]
•Find all even numbers
•Find all odd numbers
•Find numbers divisible by 4
•Find numbers greater than 5

!38
#21: Use function objects to
represent strategies

!39
interface Filter{
def includes(number)
}
class OddFilter implements Filter{
def includes(number){ number % 2 != 0 }
}
class DivisibleBy4Filter implements Filter{
def includes(number){ number % 4 == 0 }
}
def doFilter(numbers, Filter filter){
def filteredValues = []
for(int number in numbers){
if(filter.includes(number)){
filteredValues << number
}
}
filteredValues
}
println doFilter(numbers, new OddFilter())
println doFilter(numbers, new DivisibleBy4Filter())

!40
def divisibleBy4 = { number ->
number % 4 == 0
}
def odd = { number ->
number % 2 != 0
}
def numbers = [1, 3, 4, 8, 16, 9]
println "Odd numbers: " + numbers.findAll(odd)
println "Div by 4: " + numbers.findAll(divisibleBy4)
Odd numbers: [1, 3, 9]
Div by 4: [4, 8, 16]

!41
Closures
No boilerplate code
polymorphic code reading skill not required
Less duplicate code (potentially)

Bring in Order

Rules to make a class mutable
• Don’t provide any mutators
• Ensure that the class can’t be extended
• Make all fields final
• Make all fields private
• Ensure exclusive access to any mutable components
!74

!75
class ImmutableClass{
private final def field1
//...
public ImmutableClass(f1, f2,… f10){
//initialization
}
}

class Rectangle{
int length
int breadth
}
def r = new Rectangle(length: 10, breadth: 5)

public Rectangle(java.util.HashMap args) {
metaClass = /*BytecodeExpression*/

Take Away
Some of the ‘Effective Java’ already built into
the language
AST Transformations reduce the effort to
implement few more
Effective Java implementations may not always be
effective Groovy implementations (Traps)
!86

Take Away
Programming languages can reduce the friction to
implement good practices
