Hi Andres,

      If Scala was the sun, I wish Groovy was an eclipse ;)

      Maybe adding custom syntax for actor is not good idea for a programming 
language. But as a programming language, Groovy should learn good things from 
others to keep evolving and competitiveness. (like C# and Java)

Cheers,
Daniel.Sun

This is a slippery slope IMHO.

Adding custom syntax support in core for GPars might sound like a good idea 
given the fact that GPars is bundled with core. OTOH what about Spock, Grails, 
Ratpack and others? Wouldn't they benefit from custom syntax too? probably yes. 
Are they bundled with core? no, and they shouldn't.

My recommendation would be to prototype an AST transformation that can support 
the syntax, just like Spock does it.

One more thing, I would be very sad to see Groovy become a pale shade of Scala. 
Custom syntax and new operators are pushing Groovy in that direction.

Cheers
Andres
