Hi Sergei, I tried to add the statement to expression as an alternative, the antlr4 failed to generate sources becuase of the error "error(119): GroovyParser.g4::: The following sets of rules are mutually left-recursive [statement, expression, statementExpression]".
you cannot add statement as an alternative to expression if a expression is also a statement. If any statement should be also an expression, then statement and expression have to be merged
Currenty the expression is quite huge, which is a potential cause of performance issue. so if we try our best to treat statement as expression in the future, the performance will be impacted somehow.
probably, yes bye Jochen
