So head over to his blog and have a listen! Audio is a bit low the first minute or so but it gets better, believe us!

In this episode we interview Vaclav to find out a whole lot more about GPars (formerly GParallelizer). GPars is shaping up to be a very hot concurrency solution for Groovy projects - with features inspired by Scala & Clojure - but with a familiar groovy syntax.

Another rather short episode, still packed with tons of good news about Groovy, Grails, Griffon, GPars, Gradle, and lot's more. Also some little discussio about the JVM Language Summit.

We had a chance to sit down with Jochen Theodorou, the Groovy Project Tech Lead, at the end of the JVM Language Summit Day 2. Thanx a lot Andres Almiray for joining me and Jochen Theodorou for taking the time to discuss with us. We speak about some Groovy history and his current role, polyglot programming, JSR 292 (invokeDynamic) and the Da Vinci Machine Project. Check out the show notes for more links.

Live-blogging will begin around 9AM Pacific Time, I will tweet via @hansamann once we begin.
