Actually the Groovy developers call it optional typing, not static typing. And it has always been confusing.
Still though, if you really really need static typing at compile time, Groovy never stopped you. You have always had the possibility to call Java code from Groovy and Groovy code from Java as Groovy compiles to valid Java byte code.
