Summary

In this chapter, we conducted a whistle-stop tour of the Groovy language. We touched on most of the significant features of the language as a part of this tour.

In the subsequent chapters, we will delve deeper into some of these features, such as operator overloading. We will also cover some of the more advanced features that have not been touched on here, such as builders and metaprogramming. However, this book is not intended to be a complete tutorial on the Groovy language, and I recommend you delve further into the language by reading the Groovy user guide, which is available at http://www.groovy-lang.org/documentation.html.
