Anytime I learn a new language (I regularly write code in several) I start asking how is testing done, where are the libraries, where is this, and how do I do that? I already have all of that and more at my fingertips. Also, Groovy is vastly underrated. It’s the most economical and easiest to understand language I know meaning I can do more with less code and faster in general.

Groovy is definitely underrated when it's done properly (pretty much my favorite language when used as a "java substitute"). Unfortunately most people's exposure to it is in Jenkins or Gradle where it's a bit of a train wreck.
That’s too bad. That helps me understand why it isn’t favoured as much as I would think/like.
