Hi Heart Beat, As Andreas mentioned, you can't currently write GWT application in the Groove language because the GWT compiler Although I'm not very familiar coding with Groovy, it seems that using a dynamic language as an abstraction over another dynamic language would defeat some of the advantages of using GWT. Because GWT currently works from Java source, it can perform sets of optimizations that wouldn't be possible without the properties of a strongly-typed language.
That said, if you're new to Java, it might seem a little overwhelming to learn enough about it to code your GWT application. It actually isn't as bad as you think, especially if you're generally familiar with object-oriented programming. What's more, GWT doesn't use many advanced features of the Java programming language, such as multi-threaded programming or File I/O, because of the fact that the code you're writing is going to be converted to JavaScript and is subject to the constraints of that world. I recommend checking out the Getting Started tutorial if you're looking to write a GWT application and want to become familiar enough with Java programming to get started.
