questions remain: ! – Should traits be stateful or stateless? ! – Aren’t Java 8 interface default methods enough for traits? ! – What are the rules of precedence / shadowing when implementing 2 traits with methods of the same signature? ! – What is the best implementation approach?

Meta-Object Protocol • Fully leverage and build upon JDK 7+ invoke dynamic – get Java-like performance even for dynamic code • Rationalize the sedimentation of meta-programming – more coherence, less corner cases & inconsistencies • Provide a notion of « realm » – shield users of « monkey patching » – finer-grained control of meta-programming reach • Private visibility anyone? !54
Problems – Groovy still uses Antlr v2! •but version 3 and 4 are out – Groovy’s grammar evolved from a Java grammar •harder to fix and evolve, especially with Antlr v2 • Advantages – Easier to start from a clean slate – Antlr 4 more tolerant and powerful regarding ambiguities – Time to clean some grammar & syntax warts! – Need to implement the Java 8 constructs! !56
Additional grammar and semantics features to support – to keep saying Groovy / Java interop is awesome! ! • New in Java 8 – lambdas – method references – default methods in interfaces – stream API, date / time API – annotations on types & repeated annotations !58
