Why Grails is so 'close to home'

Here's another [big] reason why Grails is not a "foreign" technology for Java developers. I know, it's been said before, but this is a real world example of a Java person coming to Grails and experiencing this familiar state of things: 1) Create war; 2) Drop into any of the available Java Servlet container/app server 3) Sit back and relax (in the ideal world) :-)

I'm not sure if the same is true for JRuby (On Rails), so I'm not going to speculate here ;-)

Later...
