Gosu language basics

Gosu is a powerful and easy-to-use object-oriented language. Gosu combines the best features of Java, including compatibility with existing Java libraries, and adds significant improvements like blocks and powerful type inference that change the way you write code. Now you can write readable, powerful, and type-safe type code built on top of the Java platform.

Many of the configuration and integration points in the base configuration of PolicyCenter use Gosu classes or expressions.

To integrate with external systems, you can use native web service and XML support built directly into the language. You can work with XSD types or external APIs like native objects.

For these reasons and more, large companies all around the world use Gosu every day in their production servers for their most business-critical systems.

The next step for you is to write your first Gosu program and become familiar with the Guidewire Studio application and the Gosu editor in Studio.
