I disagree with MG. A star is an object that shines, and in this case shines light on the Groovy language and ecosystem. Hence I think the name is both professional, and since it can be directly linked to the star in the Groovy logo I think it makes perfect sense. In sports you also have star players and in music (and Java) you have rock stars. That you can find examples that relates to games on Nintendo does not make a valid point IMO. The "All Stars" just makes it so much better - as that's what Paul, Jochen and others are .
