The last session I went to yesterday was an overview of Groovy. James and Rod did an excellent presentation but personally I'm still undecided about where I stand on Groovy. I can see that it's going to be useful for quickly scripting up little applications but I can't see how it's going to be useful for me as a developer, although I know that's not the case for a lot of people.

Regardless of that, you can't deny that the guys have done some very, very clever stuff here - dynamic bytecode generation, dynamic typing, closures. Wow.
