Groovy is aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, easy to learn syntax. It facilitates scripting, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming, and functional programming.
It allows access to the entire ecosystem of Java libraries, and integrates seamlessly with Java applications.
It can be used as a simple scripting language or added to complicated Java frameworks. It powers technologies like:

Exercism is fantastic in learning new languages but that is not the extent of it. If you are a "more experienced" programmer you may have encountered impostor syndrome: the idea you don't really know what you think you know. Exercism lets you solve problems and put them in the space of open feedback which is a tremendous learning opportunity to explore the depth of your own knowledge. Even if you have been programming in a language for awhile it is worth checking into Exercism to see where you stand with current implementation practices.
Once you join the Groovy language track, you will receive support and feedback from our team of mentors. Here are the bios of a few of the mentors of this track.
These are a few of the 55 exercises on the Groovy track. You can see all the exercises here.
The Groovy Maintainers are the brains behind the Groovy Track. They spend their spare time creating interesting and challenging exercises that we can all learn from. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work. Here are the bios of a few of the maintainers of this track.
