I believe Apache Groovy implementations should be led by their technical people, so its PMC should only have people in it who can and do code, test, and write docs. Groovy's past problems have been due to managerial sorts running thing

A better example is the way C++ was compatible with C when it first came out. Apache Groovy has lots of little incompatibilities with Java, e.g. == has a different meaning in many cases.
