> groovy, and they have fairly stable and usable static compile target release Citing some Groovy 2.x Release Notes to prove a claim of "stability" for Groovy is like quoting an advertisement for Parmolux washing powder to prove its "effectiveness" at washing out dirt. Not many developers bother with Groovy's static compilation annotations. It's used mainly as a scripting language for testing Java classes, gluing together Java programs, as a build DSL in Gradle, and scripting in Grails. When static annotations are used, their use is typically small-scale.
