  I've been using and following Groovy for varying degrees almost since the first release... I'm not sure what you're getting at. As far as I can tell, the only real, persistent, commonly-cited flaw with Groovy has been performance. And that is a fair criticism, but - at least for what I'm working on - not a "deal breaker". And I'm still optimistic that the Groovy team will eventually be able to follow in the footsteps of the JRuby guys and do some big things to take advantage of method handles and invokedynamic to speed things up. But even if they don't, Groovy is fast enough, even if it's not exactly setting the world on fire. If there are any other serious complaints about Groovy, I haven't heard them, and/or haven't encountered them myself.
