That Groovy is scripting is not a negative since it is actually a superset of the Java language. So you can strongly type if you wish, the code gets compiled to bytecode the same as Java and you still get some extra features like closures. Also, I'm surprised that you missed out Spring MVC and Struts 1/2 given they are relatively commonplace but thanks for a good video.
Interesting I was not aware that you could strongly type Groovy, but I suppose that does makes sense. I wonder what is "encouraged", meaning what is easiest to program in while programming Groovy. For instance OO programming in Java is quite easy and encouraged by libraries, frameworks, and the language.
Its recomended to loosely type. Thats because strong typing involves a lot of compiler overhead in resolving. I am not sure where the runtime overhead comes from ...
Want more. About 4 hours more with code

But thank you for pointing that out.

great work.
Looking forward for more detailed version of each of these features.
Have you thought material answering SCBCD requirements? There is no book which answers the Sun objectives.
