Comparison of Scala (latest 2.10) versus Groovy++ (latest 0.9.1?)
I've just watched a [video of the Groovy inventor][1], James Strachan, in which he goes on quite passionately about loving Scala. That caused me to want to find out more about Groovy which lead me to Groovy++. [Groovy++][2] is a statically typed and compiled version of Groovy (which is apparently completely dynamic).

I attempted to figure out what Groovy++ (latest version at 0.9.1?) was in contrast with Scala (latest version at 2.10). The activity on the [Groovy++ forum][3] doesn't have very much recent activity regarding the latest version for which to be able to draw much information.

So, is there a nice simple comparison/contrast of Scala to Groovy++? I am not interested in Groovy itself (other than being the basis upon which Groovy++ is designed) as I want to compare statically compiled features side by side. A simple advanages/disadvantages (i.e. tradeoffs) list is basically what I am seeking without having to do dozens to hundreds of hours of research and experimentation.

Thank you, in advance, for anything you can contribute to this contrast and compare query.
