----- Original Message ----From: Alex Tkachman [...]

Does it show right way to go? I believe so. Instead of fighting for optimization of code, which is assumed to be dynamic (read can't be really optimized) we give tool for developer to choose when he want to optimize.

Someone can argue that developer can always use Java, when he needs piece of statically typed code. There are several reasons why this is wrong - we seriously limit his freedom to develop - if he needs just 1 or 2 statically typed methods, why to add another Java class

This would be good for those of us who took up Groovy without wanting to use
Java again. No more semicolons and parentheses when all we need is more
performance.

Now when Groovy becomes more and more popular and used together with tons of existing Java code we hear a lot of complains from users and developers (like recent messages from Peter and Graeme) regarding need for compile time (and even IDE level) type check instead od runtime. The beuty of my approach is it also gives ability to mark piece of code as type checked.

I believe if we choose to implement this program Groovy will become even stronger and appealing for Java developers.

...and for those coming from non-Java backgrounds to dynamic languages who are
evaluating Groovy, Ruby, and Python. This might tip the scales Groovy's way.
