Following one of these languages (that I had not heard of) back to its wikipedia page, I see: > In JavaOne 2003, in June, JavaSoft announced its intention to create a wholly-owned scripting language for the Java platform. This monopolous move has stifled the lives of most of its competitors. The result was the Groovy language, whose name is apparently a phonetic morphing from "jruby", with its first version released in 2007. Its built-in Ant support is suspiciously connected to Judoscript's Ant scripting feature, chronologically speaking. Some bad feeling there! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judoscript https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judoscript
