Just tested. Groovy 4.x works fine on VMS x86-64.

It works fine on VMS Itanium and VMS x86-64 with Java 8.
It does not work on VMS Alpha as it has only Java 5.
But I did a little research. Groovy 2.2 runs on
Java 5 and therefore on VMS Alpha.
Get the jar files and stuff them in [.lib],
copy groovy-starter.conf from a newer Groovy to
[.conf] and use the same groovy.com (customized
for location, version and Java) and groovydef.com.
And it works.

Obviously Groovy 2.2 does not have the same features
as Groovy 4.0, because the update sequence
2.2 -> 2.3 -> 2.4 -> 2.5 -> 3.0 -> 4.0 did add some
useful stuff, but 2.2 is what is possible on VMS Alpha.
