We appear to be in-season for embedded languages at the moment: Brad 

has done Lisp, and Adam has just released Ruby. So here's mine: I've 

been working on embedding the Groovy language via MXJ. It loads source 

files from Max's search path (resolving class heirarchies sensibly), 

so it behaves rather like the JS support.

Groovy is an agile, dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine 

(JVM) which builds upon Java by providing features such as closures 

and support for domain-specific programming (such as XML processing 

and database access). It integrates seamlessly with Java and is very 

similar in syntax, so anyone who knows Java but wants to get quick- 

and-dirty in the manner of [js] might find it appealing.

Just watch me as I turn into a "Groovy Bore."
