What tools do you generally use at debugging a groovy and/or ruby app? I'm asking because I'm doing an independent study on the various web development frameworks and it sees like RoR is very similar to grails (which uses groovy). Do you have any experience with grails? Any information you can lend as far as the pro's/con's of grails/groovy would be great. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide on this.
