Re: STEM applications of Groovy?

Hi Rick,

I am happy to answer more questions around some data science examples
in the following repo:
https://github.com/paulk-asert/groovy-data-science

You'll see lots of examples there that call out to many Java STEM
libraries some of which in turn use wrapped GPU/C libraries underneath
like openblas, arpack, etc.

Groovy has some defaults which remove certain surprise behavior, e.g.
for Java (but not picking on Java - the same would be true for many
languages):

jshell> Double x = 0.5
x ==> 0.5

jshell> x.equals(1/2)
$2 ==> false

Vs Groovy:

TensorFlow, NumPy, SciPy, DeepLearning4J, etc all do that. For some of the libraries in Java (like TensorFlow or DeepLearning4J) I think you can choose to either use Java, a C library, or a library that calls the GPU.
