I would add in terms of Groovy 5 adoption that frameworks such as Micronaut are updating to Groovy 5 in their next major version <https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-core/pull/12170>, Micronaut 5.
Moreover, Spock support for Groovy 5 is almost released as GA <https://github.com/spockframework/spock/discussions/2160>.
