groovysdk

brew install groovysdk v5.0.6 Apache-2.0

Java-based scripting language runtime and SDK for dynamic JVM programming.

Why you might care

Groovy lets you write Java-compatible code with Python-like syntax and dynamic typing, useful for build scripts (Gradle), testing, and rapid prototyping on the JVM. It's a drop-in for teams already invested in Java but wanting less boilerplate. Requires openjdk as a runtime dependency.
