Groovy

  • Groovy is a computer programming language based on Java.
  • The syntax is very similar to Java, but it also has some features commonly found in [Ruby]], [[Python]] and [Smalltalk.
  • Groovy is compiled into JVM bytecode and can interact with Java classes.
  • Development in Groovy is potentially much faster than Java, because of its support for dynamic typing, and its build in syntax for arrays, lists, maps and regular expressions.
