Groovy is the Apache Foundation's powerful, optionally typed, dynamic language, which also features static-typing and static compilation capabilities. Groovy is aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, easy to learn syntax. It facilitates scripting, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming, and functional programming.
