Um, maybe we could end this whole debate by making the GroovyClassloader compile *.java files on the fly, the way it works with *.groovy files? That way, we could treat Java like script. No compile step.

It would be pretty trivial to do this, I think.

This whole line of thought (performance through language extensions) is starting to bug me. I don't want to see Groovy turn into Java, or replace Java. This is starting to remind me of some of the wrong turns taken in the transition from C to C++, and I hope this idea doesn't get legs.
