I think you should ask this on the grails user list. At last for Web 
development you should get some data. If your doubts are about dynamic 
typing, then you could maybe use some of the comparisons Rails vs. Java. 
As fair/unfair they might be. There is for example 
http://www.infoq.com/news/2006/11/tim-bray-intrinsics which is surely no 
study. But I think the point, that a reduced code size reduces the 
maintainance costs as well is something to think about. sure, Groovy is 
not Ruby, but the code sizes are often comparable, and I know that a 
program in Groovy often takes less than 40% of statements than Java.

Well, that's no direct help at all, but maybe a hint

Okay, so far no negative news.  If this is still the case tomorrow I am going to publish the release... so if you have any problems with the latest snapshot, lemme know NOW

Looks good to me.   I am using it for the Maven Findbugs plugin as well as the SHITTY plugin and all is fine here.

Will give it a try with GB 0.7-SNAPSHOT and let you know. Like the new console upgrade Jason Dillon wrote:

I've just deployed a new set of snapshots for GMaven 1.0-rc-3- SNAPSHOT. This contains a bunch of stuff. See the road-map for more details: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MGROOVY?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel Anyways, just wanted folks to give this new snap a test and if its all happy happy I'm going to release it shortly. So, please, please give it a try and let me know if anything breaks. Thanks, --jason
