Powerful Metaprogramming Techniques With Groovy

Explore advanced metaprogramming techniques in Groovy through this comprehensive conference talk. Dive deep into Groovy's dynamic runtime nature and its advantages over standard Java for building dynamic applications on the Java Platform. Learn about runtime metaprogramming capabilities and compile-time mechanisms that enhance code functionality. Discover how to leverage Groovy's dynamic dispatch mechanism, modify class behavior at runtime, implement AST transformations for compile-time modifications, and utilize traits and other compile-time techniques. Gain insights into powerful possibilities for application and library development teams, enabling the creation of more capable systems compared to all-Java counterparts.
