Let the Grails comparisons commence!

It's good to see Groovy being used more seriously.  Any attention that
this project brings to Groovy should help Groovy's credibility.  I
suppose we have to forgive them for calling Groovy "simply a scripting
language..."

I agree w/ tug, I suspect when people see the licensing terms they
will start looking at alternatives, probably Grails being one of them.
 So this really is probably a good thing for Groovy and Grails.
