Programming Groovy 2

---

The Java platform is arguably one of the most powerful and widely adopted ecosystems today. It has three significant pieces:
• The Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which has become increasingly powerful and more performant over the years
• The Java Development Kit (JDK), the rich set of third-party libraries and frameworks that help us effectively leverage the power of the platform
• The set of languages on the JVM—the Java language being the first—that help us program the platform
Languages are like vehicles that let us navigate the platform. They let us reach into various parts of this landscape with ease. The Java language has come a long way; its libraries have been refactored and expanded. It’s gotten us this far, but we need to look beyond the Java language to languages that are lightweight and that can make us more productive. When used correctly, dynamic languages, the functional style of programming, and metaprogram- ming capabilities can help us navigate the landscape much faster. When viewed as vehicles, these newer languages aren’t faster cars; they’re flying machines, giving us the capability to be several orders of magnitude more productive.
