It was more popular a few years ago.

Back in 2009, Grails was the big theme in many JUGs in Germany.

We even added Groovy support to our JSF internal SDK as a means to buy into the "has Groovy support" checklist.

Nowadays, if it wasn't for Graddle, I guess it would be just maintenance related projects. At least from what I see as JUG talks.

FWIW, almost everything we are doing at Fogbeam is Groovy (and Grails) based. I will agree that Groovy isn't as "trendy" as it was a couple of years ago, but it still seems to be progressing, and it's worked amazingly well for us. Personally, I'm a huge fan of both Groovy and Grails.
