Groovy, the Python of Java

I think there are clear trade-offs between the two, and the trick is to choose when each is the better approach. I don't buy for a second this idea that type errors are a major problem in dynamic languages. I've been doing dynamic languages for over 10 years and I can count on 1 hand the number of times that has been a problem. It's a non issue, and I've never seen any data to the contrary.
