Substituting Groovy for Java Little By Little
I have been checking out Groovy a bit and I feel that moving a Java program to Groovy little by little -- grabbing a class and making it a Groovy class, then converting the method guts a bit at a time -- might be a relatively sane way to take advantage of some of the Groovy language features. I would also do new classes in Groovy. Quest...
Moving From non-Java Ruby to Groovy: Language Differences
Using my not-outstanding Google skills, I have not been able to find a decent tutorial on Groovy for Ruby programmers. There are a lot of political pieces (Ruby is great! Groovy is great!) and tiny little contrasts, but I really don't care which is better. I know Ruby (and Java) relatively well, and I'd like to learn Groovy. Would anybo...

Explicit typing in Groovy: sometimes or never?
[Later: Still can't figure out if Groovy has static typing (seems that it does not) or if the bytecode generated using explicit typing is different (seems that it is). Anyway, on to the question] One of the main differences between Groovy and other dynamic languages -- or at least Ruby -- is that you can statically explicitly type varia...
