Hi folks, Currently the intro description on groovy-lang.org says:
A multi-faceted language for the Java platform Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming. It has been a while since we updated that description. Should we revamp it? Perhaps something like this: A flexible and extensible Java-like language for the JVM Apache Groovy is a multi-faceted language for the JVM. It aims to provide a Java-like feel and syntax while adding productivity features. It supports OO and functional paradigms, static and dynamic strong typing, scripting and Domain-Specific Language features, complete interoperability with Java classes and libraries, declarative programming through AST transforms and macros, and extensibility mechanisms like metaprogramming. Cheers, Paul.
