Eve vs Groovy: What are the differences?
Eve: Programming designed for humans. Eve is a programming language and IDE based on years of research into building a human-first programming platform. From code embedded in documents to a language without order, it presents an alternative take on what programming could be - one that focuses on us instead of the machine; Groovy: A dynamic language for the Java platform. Groovy builds upon the strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk. It makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve.
Eve and Groovy can be categorized as "Languages" tools.
Eve and Groovy are both open source tools. It seems that Eve with 6.79K GitHub stars and 240 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Groovy with 1.49K GitHub stars and 414 GitHub forks.
