Smooth Java integration
Seamlessly and transparently integrates and interoperates with Java and any third-party libraries.
Vibrant and rich ecosystem
Web development, reactive applications, concurrency / asynchronous / parallelism library, test frameworks, build tools, code analysis, GUI building.
Powerful features
Closures, builders, runtime & compile-time meta-programming, functional programming, type inference, and static compilation.
Domain-Specific Languages
Flexible & malleable syntax, advanced integration & customization mechanisms, to integrate readable business rules in your applications.
Scripting and testing glue
