Hi Cédric, If possible, how about providing the new parser via putting it in a separate artifact(e.g. groovy-parser-x.x.x.jar). When Groovy developers want to try the new parser, they can enable the switch(-Dgroovy.antlr4=true). Before set the new parser as the default parser in the future release, we can get many feedback and make the new parser better and better :)
Although there are 3 failing test cases related to macro, Sergei's PR(https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/443) can fix them. I wish the PR could be reviewed and merged as soon as possible.
