I've used groovy in the past on grails projects but haven't adopted it more because its dynamically typed and slower than java. I have adopted scala as my main language however, since it can be used as a direct replacement for java.

So would the static compilation / type checking features have made a difference to you in your choice of language? I'm sort of half in love with the idea, half in horror - I can pick and choose which parts of my code I want to be static and which parts dynamic - is it the best of all worlds or a dogs breakfast of incomprehensible and conflicting paradigms? I don't know, but I think it's one of the first popular and well established languages to offer this so I consider it really intriguing to see how it plays out.
