8. Bob McWhirter James Strachan
9. Bob McWhirter James Strachan James Strachan and Bob McWhirter gave birth to Groovy: a dynamic and agile scripting language for the JVM. […] James always used to say that it was all Bob's fault, but indeed, James had so many groovy ideas that it's hard to believe it's not his own fault. He kept saying: "Wouldn't it be groovy if we could do this and that...". Hence the name "Groovy". That's roughly how it all started.
11. 8 Groovy pre-1.0 • Closures available since 2003 on Java 1.4+ • All the nice shortcuts already, inspired by Python & Ruby • native syntax for lists, maps, etc… • Tons of useful methods to simplify 
 common Java boiler-plate code • Initially dynamically-typed only
13. I join the project in 2003, patches after patches, become committer, then lead when founders left
16. 12 Groovy in 2004 • A brand new parser based on Antlr • after two hand-rolled versions • by John Rose and Jeremy Rainer • Jochen « blackdrag » Theodorou joins the project
23. 18 First paid committer • Jochen becomes the first full-time paid committer • sponsored by BigSky Technologies / No Fluff Just Stuff
26. 1.0
32. Spock the Enterprise testing framework
33. 25 Groovy in 2007 — Groovy 1.5 • The long awaited Java 5 update • annotations, enums, generics… • Joint compiler! • Varargs support • Static imports (including import aliasing) • Named parameters without parentheses
35. Paul King, #1 committer from 2007 to 2010, and overall #1 committer too!
39. 30 Griffon and Easyb
40. 31 Groovy++ fork! • Not the first fork, but 3rd • by Alex Tkachman (former G2One co-founder) • Big focus on static compilation • interesting playground for our forthcoming static type checking and static compilation support
42. I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming Scala book back in 2003, I’d probably have never created Groovy
43. Have I had JPA back then, I would certainly not have created Hibernate!
55. 40 The Groovy Ecosystem grows…
56. 41 Groovy 1.6 • Performance improvements with call-site caching • Multiple assignments • Optional return in if/else, try/catch, switch/case • More AST transformations • @Singleton, @Lazy, @Immutable, @Delegate • The Grape module system with @Grab • OSGi support
57. 42 Groovy 1.7 • Nested and inner classes, and nested static classes • Missing annotation definition support • Power Asserts from Spock • Customize the Groovy Truth! • AST viewer and AST builder • SQL support improvements
59. 44 Groovy ecosystem marching on… GContracts
63. 48 More Groovy ecosystem…
64. 49 Groovy 1.8 • Command chain expressions • GPars bundled with the Groovy distribution • Primitive calculation optimizations • Closures • as annotation parameters • currying, memoization and tail recursion • Built-in JSON support
65. I’m joining the Groovy team!
68. 53 Groovy ecosystem continued… • Netflix • Asgard, • Zuul • LinkedIn Glu • GroovyStream
69. 54 Groovy 2.0 • Static type checking and static compilation • type inference, flow typing… • « Project Coin » enhancements • binary literals, underscore in numbers, multicatch block • Initial « invoke dynamic » support • Modularity of the Groovy code base with modules
72. 57 Richer Groovy ecosystem…
73. 58 Groovy 2.1 • Full « invoke dynamic » support • Type-checking extensions • Meta-annotations • @DelegatesTo annotation • Compiler customization scripts • Distribution bundling GPars 1.0
74. 59 Groovy 2.2 • Implicit closure coercion to SAM types • Java lambda friendly! • Pre-compiled type checking extensions • @Memoized transformations for methods
77. 62 Groovy ecosystem
78. 63 Groovy 2.3 • Traits! • Improved JDK 8 support • Drastic performance improvement for JSON • New AST transformations & improvements • @Builder,@Sortable,@SourceURI, @BaseScript • New markup template engine • More NIO support

125. Little nuggets… For Groovy 2.4.4+ and Groovy 2.5
126. 98 Groovy 2.4.4/5/6 / 2.5 • Improved compiler performance • with an ASM class reader • @Canonical becomes a meta-annotation • More control on the meta-annotation collector • New @MapConstructor transformation • Property validation in transformation parameters • Further AST transformation improvements
127. 99 @Canonical becomes a meta-annotation import groovy.transform.*
 
 @Canonical(includeNames = true)
 class Person {
 String name
 int age
 }
 
 assert new Person('Guillaume', 38).toString() ==
 'Person(name:Guillaume, age:38)'
128. 99 @Canonical becomes a meta-annotation import groovy.transform.*
 
 @Canonical(includeNames = true)
 class Person {
 String name
 int age
 }
 
 assert new Person('Guillaume', 38).toString() ==
 'Person(name:Guillaume, age:38)' includeNames from @ToString
129. 100 More control on annotation collector DUPLICATE Annotations from the annotation collection will always be inserted. PREFER_COLLECTOR Annotations from the collector will be added and any existing annotations with the same name will be removed. PREFER_EXPLICIT Annotations from the collector will be ignored if any existing annotations with the same name are found. PREFER_EXPLICIT_MERGED Annotations from the collector will be ignored if any existing annotations with the same name are found but any new parameters on the collector annotation will be added to existing annotations. PREFER_COLLECTOR_MERGED Annotations from the collector will be added and any existing annotations with the same name will be removed but any new parameters found within existing annotations will be merged into the added annotation.
130. 101 New @MapConstructor transformation import groovy.transform.*
 
 @TupleConstructor
 class Person {
 String first, last
 }
 
 @CompileStatic // optional
 @ToString(includeSuperProperties = true)
 @MapConstructor(pre = { super(args?.first, args?.last);
 args = args ?: [:] },
 post = { first = first?.toUpperCase() })
 class Author extends Person {
 String bookName
 } assert new Author(first: 'Dierk', last: 'Koenig', bookName: 'ReGinA').toString() == 'Author(ReGinA, DIERK, Koenig)'
 
 assert new Author().toString() == 'Author(null, null, null)'
131. 101 New @MapConstructor transformation import groovy.transform.*
 
 @TupleConstructor
 class Person {
 String first, last
 }
 
 @CompileStatic // optional
 @ToString(includeSuperProperties = true)
 @MapConstructor(pre = { super(args?.first, args?.last);
 args = args ?: [:] },
 post = { first = first?.toUpperCase() })
 class Author extends Person {
 String bookName
 } assert new Author(first: 'Dierk', last: 'Koenig', bookName: 'ReGinA').toString() == 'Author(ReGinA, DIERK, Koenig)'
 
 assert new Author().toString() == 'Author(null, null, null)' Can decorate map ctor with pre / post- instructions
132. 102 Properties validated in AST xforms import groovy.transform.AutoClone
 
 @AutoClone(excludes = 'sirName')
 class Person {
 String firstName
 String surName
 }
 
 new Person(firstName: "John", surName: "Doe").clone()
133. 102 Properties validated in AST xforms import groovy.transform.AutoClone
 
 @AutoClone(excludes = 'sirName')
 class Person {
 String firstName
 String surName
 }
 
 new Person(firstName: "John", surName: "Doe").clone() Error during @AutoClone processing: 'excludes' property 'sirName' does not exist.
134. 103 Prevent @TupleConstructor default ctors @TupleConstructor
 class Person {
 String first, last
 int age
 }
135. 103 Prevent @TupleConstructor default ctors @TupleConstructor
 class Person {
 String first, last
 int age
 } Generates: Person(String first, String last, int age) { /*...*/ } Person(String first, String last) { this(first, last, 0) } Person(String first) { this(first, null) } Person() { this(null) }
136. 104 Prevent @TupleConstructor default ctors @TupleConstructor(defaults = true)
 class Person { String first, last
 int age
 }
137. 104 Prevent @TupleConstructor default ctors @TupleConstructor(defaults = true)
 class Person { String first, last
 int age
 } Generates only: Person(String first, String last, int age) { /*...*/ }
138. 105 @Immutable support in class hierarchy import groovy.transform.*
 
 @EqualsAndHashCode
 class Person {
 String name
 }
139. 105 @Immutable support in class hierarchy import groovy.transform.*
 
 @EqualsAndHashCode
 class Person {
 String name
 } @Immutable
 @TupleConstructor(includeSuperProperties = true)
 @EqualsAndHashCode(callSuper = true)
 @ToString(includeNames = true, includeSuperProperties = true)
 class Athlete extends Person {
 String sport
 }
140. 105 @Immutable support in class hierarchy import groovy.transform.*
 
 @EqualsAndHashCode
 class Person {
 String name
 } @Immutable
 @TupleConstructor(includeSuperProperties = true)
 @EqualsAndHashCode(callSuper = true)
 @ToString(includeNames = true, includeSuperProperties = true)
 class Athlete extends Person {
 String sport
 } def d1 = new Athlete('Michael Jordan', 'BasketBall')
 def d2 = new Athlete(name: 'Roger Federer', sport: ‘Tennis') assert d1 != d2
 assert d1.toString() == 
 'Athlete(sport:BasketBall, name:Michael Jordan)'
 assert d2.toString() == 
 'Athlete(sport:Tennis, name:Roger Federer)'
141. 106 Miscellaneous • GDK’s createSimilarCollection() and createSimilarMap() methods support all the JDK’s collections and maps • New File#relativePath(file) method
142. To conclude…
