> stuff like Hadoop for big data or Groovy for DSLs were built upon the existing JVM

Hadoop become popular for handling big data, but I'm not sure if many are using Groovy for DSL's. The 2 big uses for Groovy in industry seem to be (1) scripting on Grails, and (2) quick standalone scripts for testing or booting Java code. For these it rocks but the stuff added after Groovy 1.0, such as DSL's, isn't really being used much.
