Developer’s Description

By Groovy Team
Enhance your Agile software development with java based tools.
Groovy is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine. It build upon the strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk and makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve. It provides the ability to statically type check and statically compile your code for robustness and performance and supports Domain-Specific Languages and other compact syntax so your code becomes easy to read and maintain. Grrovy makes writing shell and build scripts easy with its powerful processing primitives, OO abilities and an Ant DSL, increases developer productivity by reducing scaffolding code when developing web, GUI, database or console applications, and simplifies testing by supporting unit testing and mocking out-of-the-box.
