Groovy @CompileStatic and Grails

Question

Looking at article on DZone about improved performance with Groovy2 when compiling with @CompileStatic annotation, I wonder to what extent can I take advantage of it? I'm guessing annotate controllers, domain objects and services? Does Grails take advantage of it by default when app gets compiled?

Answer 1

Current Grails version (2.1) run groovy 1.8.x

In Grails web you can see the roadmap, where Groovy 2.x integration is featured

Answer 2

As of December 20th 2012 the annotation should be useable with Grails 2.2 (which uses Groovy 2.0)
