Re: Welcome to our new committer : Sergei Egorov

Hi, the Apache Groovy people!

I'm excited to join the team! Big thanks to PMC for this opportunity.

I wrote my first Groovy code 3.5 years ago :) Was tired of the POJO
boilerplate :D
Most of the time I was doing some crazy Groovy things just because I wanted
to learn how Groovy compiler works under the hood. It was fun and easy,
thanks to a great compile time meta-programming model (IMO one of the best
across JVM languages)
But eventually, such things has started to appear as libraries, available
for everyone. And here we are - some of them are merged to groovy-core and
more to come :)

As a committer I hope to continue and even increase my effort on the macro
system and few other parts of the language, but with all the power (and
responsibility :) ) of it.

Hopefully, Groovy people will pay more attention on the macro system as
well, i.e. by asking your questions here:
https://github.com/bsideup/groovy-macro-methods-proposal

I'm looking forward to being  an active committer!

Thanks,
Sergei Egorov

Hi folks,

I'd like to introduce you to Sergei Egorov, our new Apache Groovy
committer! Some of you may already know Sergei for his work on macros,
which are going to make appearance in Apache Groovy 2.5. He is a very
talented developer with the skills we need to help Groovy move forward.

A warm welcome, and congratulations, to Sergei!

Sergei, would you mind telling a few words about you?

On behalf of the Apache Groovy team
