Apache Groovy is an open-source, Java-like programming language for the JVM with static and dynamic typing.
Apache Groovy is a multi-faceted programming language for the Java Virtual Machine with a Java-like syntax and added productivity features. It offers both static and dynamic typing, closures, traits, and metaprogramming, and interoperates bidirectionally with Java classes and third-party libraries.
Groovy supports scripting, testing, build automation, and domain-specific language authoring, and can be compiled with static type checking for near-Java performance. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is governed as a top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation.
Adds products that compete with one of Apache Groovy’s direct competitors but not with Apache Groovy itself. They are shaded, and Linked Through names the direct competitor each one competes with.
