12.7 million downloads for 2015
Hi again,
As the year ended, I collected the latest download figures from Maven
Central and Bintray.
In 2015, Apache Groovy's been downloaded 12.7 million times!
With about 8 millions from Maven Central and 4.7 millions from Bintray.
Historically, Central represented the biggest chunk, but interestingly, for
the last quarter, the downloads are even between the two.
The total figure above doesn't account for the first quarter numbers from
Codehaus, as Codehaus is no more and I didn't have access to the latest
figures there.
And with Apache, you can also download Groovy from dozens of mirrors
worldwide, and I don't think we can have a consolidated access to those
numbers either AFAIK.
For reference, from memory, we had 4.5 million downloads in 2014, 3
millions in 2013, and 1.7 million in 2012. So that's a big increase!
Clearly, the move to the Apache Software Foundation seems to have sparked
the interest of new Groovy developers.
Let's make 2016 another Groovy year for you all!
Guillaume

Thanks for the pointers Bertrand.
You had also advised me who to reach regarding @theasf on twitter, but
I forgot, if you can refresh my mind.

Groovy can request its own blog, see http://www.apache.org/dev/project-blogs
Or contact http://www.apache.org/dev/project-blogs to suggest a blog
post for https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/ if you think it belongs

Now... how is this all working?
Who's handling the Apache blog, who would be writing something...
I'm totally new to all this :-)

Indeed!
Developers trust the ASF, and more confident when a project is there.
Btw I've added those numbers in the Apache Board report.

Very happy to hear that, thanks for reporting!
I suppose the project sustainability that the ASF fosters makes a big
difference for a programming language.

Subject: 12.7 million downloads for 2015
Hi again,
As the year ended, I collected the latest download figures from Maven Central and Bintray.
In 2015, Apache Groovy's been downloaded 12.7 million times!
With about 8 millions from Maven Central and 4.7 millions from Bintray.
Historically, Central represented the biggest chunk, but interestingly, for the last quarter, the downloads are even between the two.
The total figure above doesn't account for the first quarter numbers from Codehaus, as Codehaus is no more and I didn't have access to the latest figures there.
And with Apache, you can also download Groovy from dozens of mirrors worldwide, and I don't think we can have a consolidated access to those numbers either AFAIK.
For reference, from memory, we had 4.5 million downloads in 2014, 3 millions in 2013, and 1.7 million in 2012. So that's a big increase!
Clearly, the move to the Apache Software Foundation seems to have sparked the interest of new Groovy developers.
Let's make 2016 another Groovy year for you all!
