I'm actually still a big fan/user of it. I think I used it in a comment a few days ago. I don't what that says about me as a person, but it's most likely not positive.

Scala and Groovy are both good alternatives to Java. However, it's not really easy to switch an existing codebase over to either without sacrificing consistency. Groovy would be more familiar to an existing Java dev.

If you're only using it for simple things -- or already-made-things (Wordpress etc.) I'd stick with it. For more complex things (i.e. writing from scratch yourself; even a non-trivial'ish plugin of sorts) I'd dump it straight away.

First, I miswrote --- the 'export template' fiasco. The ISO committee insisted on adding 'exported templates'; the guys who run EDG (a C++ front-end) said it would be nearly impossible to implement. After much pain&blood&tears EDG was the only (???) C++ parser/compiler-tech that could handle exported templates....
