Is picking out the few performance weaknesses the right way to judge the
overall speed of Groovy?
To me the Groovy performance is absolutely sufficient because of the
easy integration with Java. If something's too slow, I do it in Java.
And Java compared to Python is in most cases much faster.
I appreciate the efforts of the Groovy team to improve the performance,
but if they wouldn't, this would be no real problem to me. Groovy is the
grooviest language with a development team always having the simplicity
and elegance of the language usage in mind - and that counts to me. :-)
