"The Apache Groovy team has announced Groovy 5, an update to the JVM-based programming language that features broader JDK (Java Development Kit) support, along with hundreds of new and improved extension methods including faster arrays. Developers can download Groovy 5 from groovy.apache.org. Unveiled August 24, Groovy 5 brinks full compatibility with JDK versions 11 through 25, according to release notes."
"Groovy 5 also boasts more than 350 new and improved extension methods to boost productivity, according to release notes. Array operations are as much as 10 times faster. Lazy iterator methods offer stream-like behavior without the overhead, while new utilities beyond the standard JDK are featured for richer, out-of-the-box functionality, the Groovy team said. Groovy 5 also offers enhanced web creation with both Jakarta EE and legacy Javax support."
Groovy 5 delivers full compatibility with JDK versions 11 through 25 and brings many JDK 17–25 language features to earlier runtimes. The release adds support for compact source files, instance main methods, and pattern matching for instanceof. More than 350 new and improved extension methods enhance productivity, with array operations reported up to ten times faster and lazy iterator methods providing stream-like behavior without the overhead. New utilities extend functionality beyond the standard JDK. Web development receives improved support for Jakarta EE and legacy Javax. A new type checker enables stronger-than-Java format string checking. Additional language features include infinite iterator generation and index variables in loops.
