Not really. Actually, however, there is a recent survey that shows that Groovy is the second most popular language on the JVM, behind Java. Myself, I use Scala, and would like to learn Frege.

Groovy is a quite lovely dynamic language and it's actually the best solution for BDD using Spock.
Sadly I still didn't find anything comparable for BDD in all the languages that I use.

There's something wrong when a testing framework hacks into a language parser to make the language statement labels have special meanings like function names do, and overload the `|` operator in expressions so data will appear as a table in the source code. "Lovely" isn't the word for that sort of thing.

It's a DSL. And it works very well also because of these operator overloads.
