Groovy support #2677

Open nanjingdaqi opened 5 years ago

nanjingdaqi commented 5 years ago

Nowadays we often write or read gradle plugin that is implemented by groovy. There are a lot difference between groovy and java while they are similar.

Please help consider this request.

It's a difficult request, because universal-ctags has no intrinsic support for Groovy, and Groovy has support for complicated syntax for quotes, identifiers, strings, and string interpolations.

Groovy is extensively used in Jenkins, one of the top CI tools. Why is this not supported?

Like in any kind of project, and particularly open source, the reason is usually a combination of resource constraints and technical limitations. For the latter, see above. Also, PRs are definitely welcome.
