NiceSite Renamed to Applacrity
Okay, Nicesite was a fun experiment, but I learned that Nice isn't going to cut it either. Have a second compiler is no fun, and losing the debugging and tool support that's available for Java is just too painful. I've instead settled on using anonymous classes to emulate closures and relying on the Jakarta Commons CollectionUtils for some of the syntactic sugar that's possible with closures. With Java 1.5's generics, this isn't as painful as it once was and a little less error-prone too.
I've set up a Sourceforge project and put up an initial Wiki for Applacrity. After I finish porting the archticture and demo from Nice to Java, I'll post a new walkthrough and then get going on the project's road map.
