At least with Groovy, most Java programs are also valid groovy programs (the converse is not true, but not too different).

- krzyk 6y agoYes, but with groovy you get magnitude slower compilation time, less efficient autocomplete. And a language that has sometimes strange design choices. Groovy is like PHP, if I need to upgrade from Java it would be Scala. At least I get a superior language for also magnitude slower builds.
- tn1 6y agoGradle has a Kotlin Script build script option these days too. I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure if it's any better.
