I get that it's supposed to be funny, but what's really so bad about Groovy/

It's an inside joke, of sorts: James Strachan recently posted a piece stating if he had read about Scala circa 2003, he wouldn't have worked on Groovy.

I should have mentioned that I got the joke too - I just read the blog post yesterday where JS mentioned that. Maybe it was just the 'death to groovy' title. I just don't get why people hate on it so much :)

didn't understood the joke

Strachan said that if he'd known more about scala in 2003 he wouldn't have started groovy (somethingl like that).
