I've used groovy language and it is awesome. Java is getting really powerful nowadays and learning it is almost essential if anyone is targeting JVM based language.
However, groovy can be easily learned if you already know Java. I picked it up quickly and it makes 99% sense to Java developer.
BTW, l am really loving your content Dan Vega. Keep posting.

Good quick video. I however can't dissagree with you more on Java having caught up with Groovy. Every time I see a Groovy feature make it into java it is not the same, it usually lacks some of the features Groovy has and sometimes has worse syntax. In other words, lambdas are not closures, default methods are not traits, the GDK and I don't think Java will ever have AST Transforms native in the language. Every time I have to use Java I lament about what I lose and what I gain ;

Personally I won't touch Kotlin, Scala or Go unless I have to because the backward syntax drives me crazy, and being dyslexic it's just something that slows me down. Although Kotlin has seemed to create a niche for themselves for Android development.

40th...Thanks Dan. Some people say the codes are shorter in Kotlin.

There are Kotlin books, courses and videos. What resources would you recommend to learn Groovy?

with Java, programmers have more control than with a 'way abstracted' language like Kotlin or Python for example. Good developers shouldn't complain about the amount of details in languages like Java and reach for "easier" options, that lead eventually to many problems..

I had to work on a Spring Boot Groovy project. I rather work with Java or Kotlin but I hate Groovy syntax :x
