STC has been improved a lot in Groovy 3, thanks to Eric's hard work! For medium-to-large projects, finding bugs early is very important, so I suggest enabling STC by default.
As for Groovy itself, it's a great language especially for Java developers, but it is lack of manpower to evolve fast and do some marketing. Luckily, we have OCI sponsor Paul to contribute Groovy part-time, and we have open collective "Friends of Groovy" to gain financial contribution, which can sponsor more contributors to achieve bug fixing or new features, e.g. I wish FoG could sponsor Jochen complete the new MOP and Jochen would accept the suggestion :-) Cheers, Daniel Sun ----- Apache Groovy committer & PMC member Blog: http://blog.sunlan.me Twitter: @daniel_sun -- Sent from: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Groovy-Dev-f372993.html
