When I said "new features" I meant the core language features of groovy (closures, etc.) not static compilation. If speed is really that important to you, sure scala is faster today, but groovy will catch up very soon.

I didn't mention anything about speed. I talked about being _free of bugs_. Scala is more stable than Groovy' static compilation, having been battle-tested for much longer. I doubt Groovy's static mode will ever be more reliable than Scala.
