Groovy Programming Language for Android

11 things about Groovy Programming Language

1. In July 2009, Strachan wrote on his blog that "I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming in Scala book by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon & Bill Venners back in 2003 I'd probably have never created Groovy." Strachan left the project silently a year before the Groovy 1.0 release in 2007.

2. Groovy is an object-oriented programming language for the Java platform.

3. Although the two languages are similar, Groovy code can be more compact, because it does not require all the elements that Java requires.

4. This makes it possible for Java programmers to gradually learn Groovy by starting with familiar Java syntax before acquiring more Groovy idioms.

5. The classic Groovy programming language for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

6. The application is especially useful for learning the Groovy programming language.

7. Most Java code is also syntactically valid Groovy.

8. After various betas and release candidates numbered 1.1, on December 7, 2007, Groovy 1.1 Final was released and immediately rebranded as Groovy 1.5 as a reflection of the many changes that were made.

9. Many (but not all) valid Java files are also valid Groovy files.

10. James Strachan first talked about the development of Groovy in his blog in August 2003.

11. Programming language is a perfect tool for studying, complex mathematical calculation, entertainment and many other useful tasks.
