Previous problems with FastStringService were primarily with groovy-json-direct going away in Groovy 3 (as it wasn't compatible with JPMS restrictions) and groovy-all going away after Groovy 3 (again due to JPMS).
I'll have to investigate a bit more to refresh my memory and be able to have suggestions for next steps. Thanks for spotting that spifly commit in 2020. That might explain why things are working for some folks and not others. Cheers, Paul.
