# ADR-0003 - Avoid introducing Groovy types to public API

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2024-01-12

## Context

Gradle's public API requires equal access from all JVM-based languages.
Kotlin, Groovy, Java, and other JVM-based languages should be able to use the Gradle API without relying on another language's standard library.

Historically, Gradle has shipped with some Groovy types in very prominent APIs.
