I did the opposite--I tried Groovy first. And it's fine as long as you don't mind huge memory leaks. Granted, this was a year ago, but there was a problem with the Groovy class loader iirc. At the time, the developers weren't very interested in dealing with this problem, and I even invested some time in trying to fix it, but it was a fundamental flaw in the class loading. We switched to Beanshell, and haven't looked back.
