grails

Sought legendary cups

Grails is a web application framework built on the Groovy programming language, running on the Java platform.

It emphasizes convention over configuration, allowing rapid development: We built the prototype in Grails in just two weeks.

The name plays on "Rails," the Ruby framework it draws inspiration from, while nodding to the Holy Grail of efficient development.
