+Groovy is a new agile dynamic language for the JVM combining lots of great
+features from languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk and making them
+available to the Java developers using a Java-like syntax.
+
+Groovy is designed to help you get things done on the Java platform in a
+quicker, more concise and fun way - bringing the power of Python and Ruby inside
+the Java platform.
+
+Groovy can be used as an alternative compiler to javac to generate standard Java
+bytecode to be used by any Java project or it can be used dynamically as an
+alternative language such as for scripting Java objects, templating or writing
+unit test cases.
