Groovy for Java developer: learning Groovy-specific features

Groovy is an object oriented dynamic language for the JVM. Dynamically compiled to a bytecode and interoperable with most Java libraries, Groovy is a perfect candidate for writing lightweight scripts that still can benefit from the Java ecosystem. Also, it is really easy to learn since the good old Java syntax is usually valid in Groovy. There are, however, a few caveats that you should be aware of before start coding. This post shows some specific features, and also gives a few suggestions which will help to write a clear, groovy-style code.
