Never wrote any Groovy? Java developers had no problem picking this style up a decade ago.


Nope, never. Just coming back to the JVM ecosystem, actually, as I've been away since around the Java 7 release time (with the exception of some Jython work).


I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how the ecosystem has changed. Legacy code is legacy code, but Java 8 changed a lot and people have mostly also adapted well to ideas coming out of the Scala / Groovy / Kotlin ecosystems primarily because there is just more of it and it's fairly familiar and common to run across libs and projects written those languages now if you're working in Java.
