String literal in groovy is a big advantage compare to Java. So one of my big wish is Java can add support of groovy style of string expression: 1. Multi-Line Strings : Instead of : “abc” + “\ndef” + “\nghi”, we can simply put: “”” Abcdefghi “”” 2. Shortcut to embedded variable in String Such as “Hello $name” instead of “Hello” + name. I believe these changes won’t affect much in deep of the language, just the change of the source code parser. But this has great benefit for producing cleaner code.
