This would be great to have. I currently do Perl work and I think Groovy would be a great way to move over for me.

Groovy brings the best of both worlds: a flexible, highly productive, agile, dynamic language that runs on the rich framework of the Java Platform.
Groovy is one of a new breed of dynamic languages that run on the Java platform. You can use these new languages on the JVM and intermix them with your existing Java code. You can leverage your Java investments while benefiting from advanced features including true Closures, Meta Programming, the ability to create internal DSLs, and a higher level of abstraction.

As the book promo page linked above mentions, anyone who posts in the forum is eligible to win, provided the other conditions are satisfied. Posts here on the blog don't count.
