Quite a while back, I also tried to make a Groovy 3 update, but due to
my lack of Java skills, I didn't get far. Also, the existing Groovy
package appears to do a whole lot of things which are confusing to me,
so I am currently thinking along the lines of just trying to make a
bare-bones "groovy4" package, to keep things as simple as possible.

Looking at the roadmap and seeing Groovy 5 being already around the
corner, I don't see too much of a point in looking at Groovy 3 at the
moment, but maybe my judgement is just completely wrong, owing to my
lack of understanding of the Java world.

What do you think?


Kind regards,
Toni
