What's new in Groovy 1.8 and beyond?

Abstract

With the recent release of Groovy 1.8, the latest major milestone of the popular and successful dynamic language for the JVM, it is a great opportunity to discover and discuss its latest features!

In the spotlight: improved syntax for readable Domain-Specific Languages with "command chains", new runtime performance improvements for primitive calculations, support for concurrency and parallelism, built-in support for parsing and producing JSON payloads. And we'll finish the journey with the newest boilerplate code busters with the "AST Transformations" that will help you further streamline your code, and make it more concise and more powerful.
