A comment on Groovy 2.4 and Grails 3.0 to Be Last Major Releases Under Pivotal Sponsorship.

"The decision to conclude its sponsorship of Groovy and Grails is part of Pivotal’s larger strategy to concentrate resources on accelerating both commercial and open source projects that support its growing traction in Platform-as-a-Service, Data, and Agile development."

Unless Pivotal is moving away from the JVM (doubtful), I'm surprised they didn't consider Groovy a natural fit for their 'Agile development' category. Groovy + Spock + Gradle makes for a wonderful TDD experience.

Gradle is Groovy's last breath.

If it wasn't for Google pushing it down my throat for Android development, I would have never bother to learn it.

I still remember the days when German JUGs had Groovy talks at almost every meeting, somewhere around 2009. Nowadays it is seldom discussed.
