No one's complaining regarding the Posse's fandom for Scala. But lifting the embargo on anything Groovish or Springish would be nice :-)
BTW, so that I'm not perceived as painting myself as an outright Groovy fanboy, I don't believe a dynamic scripting language (even if it does compile to byte code) will be elgible for being the successor language to Java. I firmly believe that any successor language to Java (i.e., one that can fully take the place of where and how Java is used) will need to be a static typing language. >From that perspective, Scala has more of a chance than Groovy. I instead see scripting languages as just being important addendum's to what can be used on the JVM, but not what will become a flagship language of the JVM.
