That said, we are in dire need of a good, simple, robust cross-platform application binary format. Something like #Java .

I mean, we have WASM, but that's hella cursed. :P

That said, we are in dire need of a good, simple, robust cross-platform application binary format. Something like #Java .

But definitely something more implementable than the Web browser... HTML5, JS, CSS et al have gotten way out of hand.

I really think #Gemini #GeminiProtocol is on to something with deliberately limiting #extensibility .

❓ What happens when your batch job goes from “it works on my laptop” to out-of-memory errors and accidentally DDoS-ing your own dependencies?

Hugo Marques (Netflix) breaks down the evolution of a high-scale #SpringBoot + #gRPC workload: from single-threaded prototypes to #VirtualThreads & semaphores.

Through practical examples and code walk-throughs, he explores the trade-offs of concurrency tools - and why “just making it async” isn’t enough.

Memory management remains the primary factor for application performance in enterprise Java environments. Between 2017 and 2025, the ecosystem shifted from manual tuning to architectural selection. Industry data suggests that 60 percent of Java performance issues and 45 percent of...

Introduction In this post, we dive into a more advanced topic: pointer arithmetic in Java. With the introduction of the Foreign Function & Memory API (Panama), we can interact with native memory. Usually, when we work with off-heap memory, we use MemorySegment instances to ensure safety. However, creating these objects can sometimes add overhead. In…...

Fluent functional #assertj tests are super annoying. I like how they look and feel, but once something breaks they just don’t give any info back. “Expected to satisfy all of … but didn’t”, cool, thanks a lot.

2025 was a great year for #Spring and #Java

https://spring.io/blog/2025/12/30/this-year-in-spring-december-30th-2025

Yesterday, on my live coding #Java stream, I spent some time (more than I expected) creating some very rough benchmarks for my #EventSourcing example app, JitterTicket.

I had #Junie write a data generator to create 100 concerts, 1,000 customers, each buying 2-4 tix per concert.

Java as a scripting language?
Yes. And it’s actually good now.

I just published a hands-on guide to JBang: single-file Java, instant execution, inline deps, real CLI tools, even Quarkus APIs.

If you’ve ever wished Java “felt faster,” this one’s for you.

I broke down Event Sourcing in Quarkus using Java records, sealed types, pure functions, and a clean CQRS split.

Fully hands-on. No magic. Just data, folds, and clear architecture.
If you want to understand event sourcing without the hype, this one is for you.

JEP 500 prepares the Java ecosystem for final field integrity in JDK 26 by restricting deep reflection mutations - closing a long-standing loophole in the platform.

What's new:
• Enhances safety & performance
• Stricter encapsulation
• Introduces developer warnings when mutations are attempted

The new Spring Boot Buildpack adds support for AOT Caching.
