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!
