Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar, and easy to learn syntax.

It integrates smoothly with any Java program and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime, and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming.

Features and Highlights

Flat learning curve
Concise, readable, and expressive syntax, easy to learn for Java developers.

Smooth Java integration
Seamlessly and transparently integrates and interoperates with Java and any third-party libraries.

Vibrant and rich ecosystem
Web development, reactive applications, concurrency / asynchronous / parallelism library, test frameworks, build tools, code analysis, GUI building.

Powerful features
Closures, builders, runtime & compile-time meta-programming, functional programming, type inference, and static compilation.

Domain-Specific Languages
Flexible & malleable syntax, advanced integration & customization mechanisms, to integrate readable business rules in your applications.

Scripting and testing glue
Great for writing concise and maintainable tests, and for all your build and automation tasks.

The Groovy programming language is supported by the Apache Software Foundation and the Groovy community.

- STC doesn't find property accessor on nested class
- Reproduction of GROOVY-11548 with Generic Parameters
- byte array casted to array list when calling parent method from nested class
- Static compiler should treat inner records as static
- Nested <src> in <groovyc> Ant task is not handled nicely
- Cannot call on outerclass's default method if the inner class extends that outerclass
- Enums in switch/case statements that are not fully qualified will cause a groovy compile error but Java requires enums to "not" be fully qualified
- Method reference not found for record fields
- Assigning null to a List or Map using bracket notation does not work with @CompileStatic
- ClassFormatError when property and abstract getter exist in the same class
- source offset of inner class declaration with annotation
- Groovy 4_0_X branch fails
- Grails reproducible build
- groovyc should enforce correct usage of "continue"
- Mocking a method with byte[] parameter type throws a ClassCastException: ArrayList cannot be cast to Number
- Spread operator type conversion error

Dependency upgrade:
- Bump jackson to 2.18.3
- Bump asm to 9.8
- Bump junit5 to 5.12.1
