Re: Groovy as knowledge graph

Hello, With knowledge graphs in mind, Apache TinkerPop has long offered
gremlin-groovy which contains, among other things, a sugar syntax that
makes the Gremlin graph query language a bit more Groovy. I've always
thought it might benefit from experts from the Groovy community who could
build upon that foundation. I think that some fast impact to making Groovy
more knowledge graph ready could be some improvements there. Not RDF
obviously, but property graphs are riding in that same space in many ways.
Happy to talk about that angle further if there's interest from anyone.
