Re: [teiid-dev] [teiid-users] Alternative scripting envrionment for AdminShell
D. JUnit integration and assertion logic on the result sets.
I have NO preference in using the Groovy vs Bean shell. I am OK with
Teiid using groovy. Groovy definitely seems to have mind share these
days and have better tools and support. Command history and GUI tools
are very valuable. Support of closures is nice.

I would propose that we would need to drop support for C completely,

IMO, A,B,C,D are the value add features that Admin Shell has, especially
in the interactive mode. If we remove these features, it is basically a
java code interpreter and will make users to learn the groovy
syntax/libraries before they can use it.
With out any contextual information any scripting tool is use less IMO.
"it" variable from your code sample is an example of contextual
information support in groovy. Is there way add additional variables to
the groovy environment (with out deep hooks I mean)?
I myself, do not mind doing in the new way, but not sure if I am going
to like all the verbose typing now I have to do to use this as a query
tool.
