Groovy 1.0 has been released and is available for download from the project homepage. "Groovy is a dynamic language for the JVM that integrates seamlessly with the Java platform. It offers a Java-like syntax, with language features inspired by Smalltalk, Python or Ruby, and lets your reuse all your Java libraries and protect the investment you made in Java skills, tools or application servers. Groovy can be used for various purposes, from ad-hoc shell scripting leveraging Java APIs, to full-blown web applications built on Spring and Hibernate through the Grails web framework.
It can also be integrated very easily in your applications to externalize business logic, create Domain-Specific Languages, or to provide templating capabilities, and much more."

BTW, I know python and ruby, and I experimented with jython and jruby for this but groovy was actually the quickest for me to figure out even though I did not know the language (and I know those others). It was the easiest for me to integrate into my existing java code.
How does groovy compares to jython? What makes groovy easier to use and integrate into existing java code? I'm wondering if it is worth taking some time to learn groovy or just stick with what I know (python).
