Groovy is much slower than Java, dynamically typed (even with optional typing), with spotty IDE support and with Thoughtworks recently dropping its support of the entire project, the future of the language is quite uncertain, even though it was picked up by Apache. I would feel more comfortable picking Kotlin despite its newness: it has everything Groovy offers but it also fixes all the problems I listed above.
