> I haven't heard from Groovy since a long time ago.
It's still the sole language used in Grails, which is losing adoption share to newer web frameworks. Gradle is on the rise, but Gradle will probably soon open its configuration as an API so any language can use it, so Scala and Clojure could become more popular for scripting Gradle in the future.
> Is it still actively developed?
There's a technical developer employed by Pivotal who's presently working on making Groovy work on Android. I don't know if he's working on it full-time or merely squeezing in development between fee-paying consultancy work.
> The last things I saw was that they were struggling to catch up, and work on the new MOP still wasn't finished.
I don't think work on a new MOP has started. It's pitched for Groovy 3 and the next version of Groovy is still version 2.x.
> On the Gartner PLI, Groovy is way down on position 20.
On Tiobe, it's still hovering around position 49, where it's been fluctuating since 2007, sometimes higher, often out of the top 50.
