Pimping with Groovy

One of the great advantage to the Groovy programming language is that you can take Java libraries and extend them. The formal technical definition of this process when done in Groovy is called "Pimping".

So why do we care about Groovy?
  • Groovy allows you to access all the power of Java from shell scripts
  • Groovy compiles to Java binary format allowing you to use Groovy from Java
...and now...
  • Groovy lets you pimp

Groovy, the programming language for pimping.

Oh yeah.
