no Public Draft or Proposed Final Draft of the spec. When do you
expect to complete the JSR?
Very good question. Actually, after a long period of hibernation on the JSR front, we're resuming work on it in the upcoming months.
But we'd be happy to have some guidance to the steps to follow, and details of the key deliverables that are expected to ship with the JSR.
So far, the RI is there, of course, in the shape of Groovy 1.5.4.
The TCK is not split from the Groovy test suites, so we'd need to find an easy way for people to reuse it if they want to develop a compatible Groovy language.
On the spec side, we have the language grammar in an EBNF and diagram form, but what is still missing is the writing of the formal specification document, beyond our online documentation or the books we've written on the topic.
