Considering Groovy for your next big project? We did. All things considered, it figured to be a safe choice given its Java pedigree. From the limited exposure I'd had to Groovy up until that point, it looked and felt remarkably familiar to Ruby (a good thing). I had even heard you could cut & paste any amount of Java into a .groovy file and it would just work. Depending on what 'work' actually means, this is mostly true.
One of the small untruths about Groovy behaving 'just like Java' is worth serious consideration - especially if you want your .groovy code to become API-ready.
