Groovy uses the end of line as the statement terminator unless it can safely tell that the next line should follow on. We didn't allow plus or minus on the next line when working out the list of things to safely accept since it would have been a breaking change for anyone using the unaryPlus or unaryMinus operators.. I suspect very few people use that operator as an overloadable operator but some folks might use it in their DSLs for instance.
We could create a GEP for Groovy 3.0 to change the behavior. We'd need to outline how to allow the unary operator style. Why not use the line continuation slash at the end of the line: String text= "0"+"1" + "2" \ +"3" Cheers, Paul.
