Groovy Static Type Checker: Status Update
For the last month, Cédric Champeau has been employed at SpringSource and working on Groovy. Among other things, he is working on a static type checker for Groovy. (As he puts it: “…the main goal of this project is to make the compiler grumpy, meaning it will complain where regular Groovy does not.”) This project has been discussed on the Groovy mailing list for some time now. The official (well, by Cédric) update, posted on the 3rd, goes into some detail on what is and is not dealt with, and in what manner, in Groovy’s “grumpy mode.”
