Is that really in there? My interest in Groovy keeps going down as I hear more about it... Relax Jason - operator overloading can be used for good :) We use a limited form of operator overloading to allow, for example, the [] subscript operator to be used with Maps, Lists, Strings and ResultSets to implement polymorphic index lookup just like Java supports with the Array types. i.e. we allow you to perform index operations just like you can in python & ruby. Did you know that both Ruby and Python both implement operator overloading for such things as the [] notation? We're just reusing good established practice. >> Operator overloading?
