Where did Groovy go wrong ?
1 comments

When it was created? Its dynamic types can often cause a headache (as you’ll notice when working with Grails, for example).

Groovy’s creator famously said that, had he known Scala, he’d never have invented Groovy.

That was 10 years ago. Last year he tweeted "I still love groovy (jenkins pipelines are so groovy!), java, go, typescript and kotlin. I don't use scala anymore."[1]
