Because of its use in scripting on the JVM(e.g. glue code and Gradle builds), Apache Groovy files are usually stored in the file system as text. Each time they're run, they are "compiled" into JVM bytecode. Although you can get pre-compiled .class and .jar files for Groovy, it's not common for people to build large systems with it.
