  1. Groovy

    Groovy is an object-oriented programming language for the Java platform. It is a dynamic language with features similar to those of Python, Ruby, Perl, and Smalltalk. It can be used as a scripting language for the Java Platform, is dynamically compiled to Java Virtual Machine bytecode, and interoperates with other Java code and libraries. Groovy uses a Java-like curly-bracket syntax. Most Java code is also syntactically valid Groovy. Groovy 1.0 was released on January 2, 2007, and Groovy 2.0 in July, 2012. Groovy 3.0 is planned for release in 2013, with support for Java 8 features and a new Meta Object Protocol. Since version 2 Groovy can also be compiled statically, offering type inference and performance close to, or even greater than, Java's. Groovy is backed by VMware, after its acquisition of SpringSource, which acquired G2One, the Groovy and Grails company.
