Groovy is not Java (Score 1)

Was there a missing "not"? I mean there are surely Java programs than can be run in Groovy wihtout change, but there are also Ruby programs that can be run in Groovy without change. If you insist on typing then you maybe better use nice or scala. The core of Groovy is dynamic and with that it differs in essential parts to Java. Just because there is a much syntax in common doesn't mean that Groovy is Java
