And I can see where that can be percieved as a pretty big toolkit to haul around for a little command line scripting. I guess for me, I use those tools pervasively in my day to day work, so not having them installed never even occurred to me. We can probably agree that Java will be installed on any major operating system(although not necessarily 1.6). And that installing Groovy on any of the major platforms(*nix,Mac,Windoze) has never been easier. So I'm hoping that isn't seen as too much of a barrier. Entirely true Robert.

Not so with the many other choices. The big flaw…you have to install both Groovy and Java where you want to use it. Not so with the many other choices.
