[Apache Groovy](http://groovy-lang.org/) is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming.  # How to use this image ## Starting Groovysh `docker run -it --rm --name groovy groovy:alpine` ## Running a Groovy script `docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/scripts -w /scripts --name groovy groovy:alpine groovy
