Do we really need the 20 Groovy/Grails articles a day? If any other project does this it gets shot down!

Backup copy of a comment I left on the blog:

You might like Scala's structural typing then. It has all the performance of Groovy (it's slow because it uses reflection to get dispatch done) but if it's going to fail it'll fail at compile time.
