Hi Jenn, @bool: You are right "bool" is of course used by many languages, including Python :-) @meaning of "fin": I was thinking of the French word for "end". Cheers,mg

It's shorter but doesn't lose the meaning. It also makes it easier for people coming from other programming languages.

"boolean" is already seeing large scale use by Groovy developers, "bool" instead of "boolean" saves nearly half of the keyword's characters, "bool" is used in C++, it fits better with the also widely used "int", and Groovy 3.0 is the ideal opportunity to introduce such language extensions.
