Groovy has enabled types on variables and functions (and fields and methods) since Groovy 1.0 but that makes the code run slower.

That is not what I am referring to. 2.0 introduced true static typing that compiles to code that not only enforces complete type correctness at compile time (unlike the old option) but executes at near Java speed.
