Where I work we use Groovy heavily for testing (with the Spock Framework - which is amazing), in our Jenkins pipelines, and for Gradle Plugins in our build.

I see a pretty active community around it and lots of new releases (from the libraries and the language itself) coming up all the time. Your picture of Groovy being dead couldn't be more wrong in my experience.

A programming language is alive as long as there is one developer using it, doesn't mean it still matters at scale.

As mentioned, Gradle is still around.

Gradle is moving more and more towards kotlin

A language that will share Groovy's fate, when Google gets fed up with Android and uses either ChromeOS or Fuchsia to take its place.
