anyone know anything about GROOVY?

[F.G.]

hi,
i've started learning groovy at school. its a new course and material isn't as polished as it could be. there a fair bit online, at http://groovy.codehaus.org/ but fewer tutorials than other languages. Does anyone have any particular advice or suggestions for learning/using groovy or any observations about the language?
thanks for any replies.

I've never used it, but from what I've seen of the language it looks like java with dynamic typing and closures added in. The official site's starting guide is probably as good as any for learning it.
