Hi mg, I just do not like the feeling that we walk in an endless road ;-) The Phoenix plan will be a long road, but we can see the end of it. I will enhance the Parrot parser to support Java grammar as a dialect at first, a journey of a thousand miles begins with single step :-)

Re: About the Phoenix plan for Groovy

It seems Daniel has a point here: Knowing the whole landscape of bugs in the static compiler cannot be a bad thing in itself, right ? And it might prohibit fixing one bug reported by a Groovy user through a quick fix, when it is actually part of a bigger problem. I would however keep bugs found

Re: About the Phoenix plan for Groovy

I'm not sure how the API would look like either, but clearly the "reflection approach" is not enough since it better represents runtime types than compile time types. Just getting the relationships between the things is hard to get today. We probably need something better for synthetic

@Newify(classNamePattern=/[A-Z].*/) - Questions

I am working on an implementation of @Newify classNamePattern support, which should allow Groovy to optionally support object creation (ctor calls) without the need for the "new" keyword on a global level, as in Python or Kotlin (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8490) without

Re: About the Phoenix plan for Groovy

Hi Cédric, At first we all admit your effort on STC is great :-) I usually try to use STC for better performance, but sadly I have to turn to dynamic mode sometimes. Recently I wrote a hadoop example in Java, then copied the Java code as Groovy code and tried to compile with STC,
