Groovy – Description
Groovy is a powerful, dynamic programming language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that combines the simplicity of scripting languages with the robustness of Java. It is fully interoperable with Java, allowing developers to use existing Java libraries and frameworks seamlessly.
Groovy offers a concise syntax, dynamic typing, and built-in support for XML, JSON, and regular expressions, making it ideal for scripting, automation, testing, and building domain-specific languages (DSLs). It also supports functional programming concepts, closures, and meta-programming, providing flexibility for advanced development tasks.
Groovy is widely used in Gradle build scripts, Jenkins pipelines, and enterprise applications due to its ease of integration, expressive syntax, and ability to accelerate development while leveraging the Java ecosystem. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux through the JVM, making it cross-platform and versatile for modern development workflows.
