| <h2>Groovy - An extensible multi-paradigm language for the JVM Platform<br/>(GroovyDoc for Groovy and Java classes)</h2> |
| |
| Groovy... |
| <ul> |
| <li>is an <strong>extensible</strong> and <strong>multi-paradigm</strong> language for the <strong>Java Virtual Machine</strong></li> |
| <li>makes <strong>modern programming features</strong> available to Java developers with <strong>almost-zero learning curve</strong></li> |
| <li>has a dynamic nature like Python and Ruby, which means that it is very powerful, easy to learn, and productive</li> |
| <li>optionally has static typing like Java and Kotlin, which makes it fast and provides extra type checking when desired</li> |
| <li>has first-class functional, stream processing and immutability support, meaning that it offers features similar to Scala and can offer many advantages when working in parallel processing or clustered environments</li> |
| <li>supports <strong>Domain-Specific Languages</strong> and other compact syntax so your code becomes <strong>easy to read and maintain</strong></li> |
| <li>makes writing shell and build scripts easy with its <strong>powerful processing primitives</strong>, OO abilities and an Ant DSL</li> |
| <li>increases developer productivity by <strong>reducing scaffolding code</strong> when developing web, GUI, database or console applications</li> |
| <li><strong>simplifies testing</strong> by supporting unit testing and mocking out-of-the-box</li> |
| <li>compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere you can use Java; it <strong>seamlessly integrates</strong> with all existing Java objects and libraries</li> |
| </ul> |
