Re: Is Groovy the slowest dynamic language?

Ditto what others said but also note that the alioth site is still
using Groovy 1.5.0. There was quiet a lot of speed up even in 1.5.4
and the several months of performance work that mostly Alex and also
Jochen have been doing are only in 1.6.

Also, if you search this list you should find the benchmarks I did
showing Groovy faster than Java for the benchmark I chose.
