Groovy has "grapes" for automated download of dependencies.

        @Grab("org.spockframework:spock-core:0.7-groovy2.0")
        import spock.core.Specification

The artefact is cached locally after first download, but you have to
remember to run the script while connected to the Internet. Not that
useful for projects where the Gradle script would manage the
dependencies, but great for scripts.

Go also allows for import of packages from elsewhere, and I rather like
the way that is done, but I think that whole Go mechanism has been
slagged off on this list a number of times already. Pity.
