Thank you for your comment Xavier!
As for your question, both debugging and incremental compilation are planned for the next major version. And there are good chances to have this functionality appear in the first Milestone.

Nice article! How about a Flex+Grails example?
A couple of notes about the tutorial pdf:
You could tell the variable type to set ("All you need to fix the error is to pick a solution from the list"). It might not be obvious for newbies that it should be a String.
Also the function greetMe(name:String):String should be greetMe():String
