Thank you Adrian. In this first step I was actually focused on the definition (and their design as DSL) of all the implicit rules that make Minilang such a productive tool, and I have used Groovy because it helps to implement this kind of patterns. But if we can enhance and reuse the same class for all the JSR-223 compliant scripting languages that would be nice.
