Last time I tried Groovy I found that the speed of it is really the pain of using it. It was considerably slower than plain Java.

I'd recommend Scala even if you skip all the functional parts of it (Clojure's too un-java to speak as an alternative.)

Groovy++ is working on improving the performance: http://code.google.com/p/groovypptest/

You kidding? Clojure is nice precisely because it's an un-Java as it can possibly be.

Exactly. If one want a Java-but-less-painful, Clojure ain't it.

"Java-but-less-painful" makes every bit as much sense as "gently gouging out an eye" ;-)
