WMWare is looking to acquire SpringSource. This is huge. I’m very excited to see what happens as a result, and think it will become a very worthy competitor with Microsoft’s .NET/Azure platform. I think their next step should look towards buying Terracotta and putting another barrier between them and Microsoft.
However, what I personally find to be the most exciting thing is what this will do for the Grails framework. I believe this will bring legitimacy to the Grails framework. Hopefully the guys over at VMWare realize the opportunity to bridge the gap between “Agile Frameworks” and the enterprise that is inherent in the Grails architecture.
I hope to analyze this a bit more tonight, I just wanted to get my thoughts out there and see if anyone agrees.
