Groovy (programming language) Groovy 1.0 was released on January 2, 2007, and Groovy 2.0 in July, 2012.
Groovy 3.0 is planned for release in early 2014, with support for Java 8 features and a new Meta Object Protocol.[1] Since version 2, Groovy can also be compiled statically, offering type inference and performance close to, or even greater than, Java's.[2][3] Groovy is backed by GoPivotal, which comprises the team from VMware. VMware acquired SpringSource, which acquired G2One, the Groovy and Grails company. In November 2008, SpringSource acquired the Groovy and Grails company (G2One).[7] In August 2009 VMWare acquired SpringSource.[8]
