Additional infos on the download stats:

Apache Groovy was downloaded 27M+ times the past three months (July,
August, September),
across Maven Central and Bintray JCenter, for a total of 75.7M+ since the
beginning of the year.
Generally, 2/3 of the downloads are from Maven Central, vs 1/3 from Bintray
JCenter.
Over 3/4 of the downloads are for Groovy 2.5.3 or the previous 2.5.2/.1/.0
versions.
There is still a lot of users downloading the latest 2.4.x releases, almost
as much as the 2.5.x ones.
And close to 1/4 are trying our 3.0 10% of the downloads are from users
trying our 3.0 alpha 3.
