well, I got tired of Groovy and found out that using Jenkins with plain bash under source control is just right for us. Runs everywhere, very fast to test/develop and its all easy to change and improve.

We build Docker images mostly so ymmv.

I have a "port to github actions" ticket in the backlog but I think we're not going to go down that road now.

Yeah, I've come back around to this: you do not want "end users" writing Groovy, because the tooling around it is horrible.

You'll have to explain the weird CPS transformations, you'll probably end up reading the Jenkins plugins' code, and there's nothing fun down this path.
