What about Groovy?

Good question. All I know is that it's used for Gradle and Grails. Some people I know view it more as a scripting language...

Groovy doesn't have much significant use anymore. Someone's gaming the stats to make it look more popular, though. At https://bintray.com/groovy/maven/groovy/view/statistics you'll see 190k downloads in the last 30 days, click on country and you'll see 162k of them from a proxy server in China, and only 8300 direct from the US.
