Ruby appeared in 1995
Groovy appeared in 2003

Rails appeared in 2004 (based on previous work on Basecamp, so it's
obviously older)
Grails development started in 2005

Given this timeline, Groovy and Grails have done an incredible work.
In 4 years they created a complete new language, and a complete web
framework, ready for production.

Of course, more buzz would be nice, but that's not a priority.
Groovy/Grails mission imho is not to allow everyone to develop
applications, but to give java developers a dynamic and familiar
alternative to java, still staying in the big Java family.
