'''Groovy''' is an object-oriented programming language for the [[Java]] Platform as an alternative to the [[Java]] programming language. It can be viewed as a scripting language for the [[Java]] Platform, as it has features similar to those of [[Python]], [[Ruby]], [[Perl]], and [[Smalltalk]]. In some contexts, the name JSR 241 is used as an alternate identifier for the '''Groovy''' language. |

|||
* makes modern programming features available to [[Java]] developers with almost-zero learning curve |
|||
* supports Domain Specific Languages and other compact syntax so your code becomes easy to read and maintain |
|||
* 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 |
|||
* simplifies testing by supporting unit testing and mocking out-of-the-box |
|||
