performant array operations
+* _AST Transform_ additions and improvements
+* New and improved _groovysh_ Repl based on JLine 3
+* _Java compatibility_ improvements including pattern matching for `instanceof`
+* Additional _scripting variations_ to support JEP-512 compact source files
and instance main methods in addition to Groovy's shorter scripts

+* Other improvements like infinite iterator generation, and index variables in
loops
