Groovy Slide Set

[Owen Densmore]

Several of us have been talking about Groovy, the Java based dynamic
scripting environment.  Here's a good slide set introducing the critter
I've saved off for your pleasure:
        http://backspaces.net/files/GroovyOSCon04.pdf
(Its also on their web site)

Interesting to note one of their principles: as a system matures, many
uses are more and more glue-like: combining the powerful libraries that
evolve in the system but by doing very simple programming.  Hence
"scripting".

I've been looking into this recently too.  Here are the references I've
found, in order of usefulness:

Beta 8 definitely seems a little rough, it's easy to get it into an
infinite loop or crash.  But the future of Groovy looks very bright to me...
