Groovy is god-awful though.

Jenkins is... fine, basically, if you can get away with almost never having to touch Groovy.

A good Groovy script limits itself to running scripts in better languages.
This is the way. Groovy isn’t that bad but the CPS interpreter & sandboxing is god awful to develop on and troubleshoot.
Groovy is a far better scripting language than YAML, which seems to be the choice of many other NYPD systems.
