The thing is that the author said he wants Groovy static for calculations, concurrency and distributed but why all this effort if Scala already does that and much more.
I belive in the right tool for the job, Let Groovy for scripting and Scala for the heavy and fast work. Scala is also a modern language with lots of OOP/FP concepts, not verbose and much more.
IMHO having Scala, groovy++ it is pointless.

Groovy is much easier to learn to program than Scala (in terms of mastering the entirety of the language) and has better compatibility with Java libraries given it doesn't suffer the name mangling impedance that Scala does. Nice to see Groovy will be adding actors.
