Introduction

Groovy was…

● …designed to be a dynamic symbiote to Java.

● Java is statically typed.● Groovy is optionally typed.

Groovy was…

● …designed to have a very lightweight syntax.

● Literal syntax for lists and maps.● As little punctuation as possible.

Groovy was…

● …designed to work with code as first class entity.

● Closures and functional approach from the outset.● No waiting for Java 8.

println 'Hello World.'

public class testAll_GroovyTestCase extends GroovyTestCase { void test_helloWorld_trivial() { assert 'helloWorld_trivial.groovy'.execute().text == 'Hello World.\n' }}

Power asserts

Conclusion

There is nothing that Java can do

that Groovy cannot do better.
