Spring sells to everyone, I am old enough to have seen that playbook with Groovy as main actor.

Groovy was good in what it set out to do, i.e. bringing Python freshness into the vast Java ecosystem.

I loved Grape for single-file scripts. Does any language have similar single-file dependency manager? I guess Go, but then, you have to compile Go, so it might not be as useful, because you distribute binaries anyways.
