Is this what you want?
http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/groovy-jdk/java/lang/Iterable.html#combinations%28%29
assert [['a', 'b'],[1, 2, 3]].combinations() == [['a', 1], ['b', 1], ['a', 2],
['b', 2], ['a', 3], ['b', 3]]
assert [[2, 3],[4, 5, 6]].combinations {x,y -> x*y } == [8, 12, 10, 15, 12, 18]

Subject: Shortest way of creating combinations of array elements
I am trying to find the shortest method of creating pairs of values from two
lists.
def a = [ 1,2,3,4,5,6 ]
def b = [ 'a','b','c' ]
assert [ [ 1,'a'], [2,'a'], ... [5,'c'],[6,'c'] == f(a,b)
The question is what te shortest possible implementation f(a,b) looks like.
I know a.collect { item -> b.collect { [item,it] } } should work, but
wondering if there is something better.
