Groovy 1.5 is out

This is probably not a fresh news if you are into Java: Groovy 1.5 has been released.

I would like to congratulate Guillaume and the whole team behind this project!

Groovy is a great addition to the Java ecosystem (like JRuby, Jython, Beanshell and JACL). I really appreciate the current rise of alternative languages running on the JVM.

I suggest reading this InfoQ article by Guillaume on the new things in Groovy 1.5. I discovered a few things like named parameters without parenthesis (great for internal DSLs!).
