I wrote about the latest #Java Ecosystem report from New Relic: https://www.infoq.com/news/2024/05/new-relic-java-2024/ - some interesting takeaways. In particular:

1.) Yes, you should definitely be thinking of Java 8 as a legacy version now

2.) #Oracle continue to lose ground as a #JVM vendor (from 75% market share in 2020, to 34.5% in 2022 to 20.8% in 2024) - now just a couple of points clear of Eclipse's Adoptium distribution and Amazon's Corretto,

Who here knows a CDN that offers edge computing capability for the JVM / GraalVM?

AWS Lambda@Edge only supports JavaScript and Python.
Cloudflare only supports JavaScript.
Fastly supports WebAssembly.

We often joke about the billion-dependency problems with #npm. But I haven't seen anyone complain about the equivalent one in #Java/#JVM.

He says, looking at the 9000+ line generated dependencies file for this #Kotlin project...

Hey, #java software devs: how do you prevent the #jvm from dumping memory into the application folder if the application or system causes it to malfunction? I still want the memory dump, just somewhere else. Can that be done? Please show me the way!

#PHP > #Kotlin, part 20. Or maybe just > #JVM ecosystem.

#Composer FTW.

One of the biggest advantages of #Java has always been the #JVM (which allows for absurd portability and also facilitates the configuration and scalability of #software #developed in Java).

In #C, until now, I wasn't aware of any interesting tool that could take on that role. But look at the surprise:

I don't expect anyone to still believe that #Java is slow. But if you do, remember that the following tools are all written in Java or other #JVM languages: #Cassandra, #Hadoop, #Spark, #Kafka, #Elasticsearch, #DynamoDB...

PSA: Don't upgrade to macOS 14.4 quite yet if you're doing anything with the JVM.

Congrats to the #Python folks for merging the first patches to disable / remove the GIL.

An excellent reminder that making deep-level changes of mature programming environments takes time, patience and a lot of very diligent work by smart and conscientious people.

In this case, I think it's taken just under 20 years. A fact I'll keep in my back pocket for the next time anyone wants to complain about how long major changes take in #Java and the #JVM

DALL-E 3 is amazing.

Once it learns how to spell it will be nigh unstoppable.

A woman with black hair and a red shirt types at a laptop. Strange bluish humanoid creatures lurk in the background. A big yellow speech bubble with the letters "JVM" in red and black hovers over her head. There are stickers on the laptop…one reads "Ecstyopsae" and another reads"SUNN".
A man with black hair types on a laptop with the words "NETLIX" on it. Behind the man are the " JAVM ECCOOOSSEM".
A man in glasses and a blue shirt types at a laptop with the words "JEVIA ecciscoesm" on it along with a few Netflix stickers.

I'm always learning new and old programming languages because I find new concepts and development approaches for myself.

At the moment I am actively working with WebAssembly and virtual machines for its execution. Specifically, I have to work with text representation - WAT.

This is a very interesting experience of working with a stack machine using S-expressions.

I also have a feeling that WASM using WASI can be a good alternative to JVM and other similar virtual machines.
