I guess that Groovy simply turns that code into real Java, doing a lot of work for us (of course). But then... it just makes a call to "javac"? If that's the case, the sentence "compilation on demand" means that: groovy compiles it if it hasn't already compiled before?. Closures are really interesting. I got a lot of new ideas for my ongoing programming language (Lilisp). Lol Thank you again! PS: It's nice to read you again.:) Hi,

Thank you again!
