Question

Will groovy (grails) give you compile time checking like java?

If you always specify the type, will that change things much?

Answer 1

Groovy 2.0 has @CompileStatic and @TypeChecked you can check this good performance test between Groovy 2.0 and Java http://java.dzone.com/articles/groovy-20-performance-compared

As topr said... this feature will be avaliable in grails until version 2.2
