Folks,

we recently had this discussion about the benefits of STC: Groovy now
takes a hybrid approach and allows to use both.  For the interested
reader:

http://www.jroller.com/melix/entry/groovy_static_type_checker_status

They are trying to have the best of both worlds.

I find this quote noteworthy:

"One of them is that Java programmers who discover Groovy are often
amazed about the conciseness of the language as compared to Java, and
start programming in Groovy like they would in Java, that is to say
with types and leveraging the syntax of Groovy. The key here is that
many programmers never use the dynamic features of Groovy, but rather
use the language as a "better Java syntax"."

Kind regards

robert
