Just learned that EUobserver joins Slovak journalist-owned publisher Denník N. Good journalism, good tech and good business model. Congrats to both! euobserver.com/203123/euobs...

I always liked JBoss Logging due to its performance driven design. Although it works well out of the box when doing the usual Quarkus stuff, making it work outside of its native ecosystem has often been hard...

TIL about the GPS-UP metric for comparing software energy efficiency and quite interesting.

Next week Zineb and I are hosting "Meet with Quarkus". It's my first Devoxx France so looking forward to it and especially since Markus Eisele brought me a few gifts to share :) https://youtu.be/6zFla1JpKBU

In "better late than never", I decided to write about @voxxedzurich.bsky.social maritvandijk.com/voxxed-days-...

I ported nanocode, a minimal AI coding agent, from Python to Java. 261 lines, one file, zero frameworks. Just JBang, Jackson, and a loop. Want more try quarkus.ai https://xam.dk/blog/nanocode-coding-agent-in-260-lines-of-java/

"10 or more reasons to not use JDK’s HttpClient" by @bricedutheil.bsky.social I agree, the JDK HttpClient is horrible, buggy and incomplete (multi-part encoding anyone?). blog.arkey.fr/2026/02/08/t...

Meet the amazing team behind Voxxed Days Zürich 2026. We are so happy to have them ❤️ They are making everyone welcome and do the all the heavy lifting behind the scene. It's a real community effort 🙏 #VDZ26 #itwillbefun

Maven Daemon 1.0.5 is being released. Functionally equivalent to 1.0.4, you want it only if you need Linux Arm64 native support. #maven #mvnd #asf

Don't miss us at Voxxed Days Zürich next week! github.com/quarkusio/qu... #quarkusworldtour

Heads up: Maven 3.9.14 and its MavenDaemon 1.0.4 twin are out, grab them while hot! (Publishing on sdkman, brew is a bit delayed... Pls be patient). maven.apache.org/download.cgi #maven3 #mvnd #asf

Who takes care of the people who take care of open source? For @commonhaus.org's 2nd birthday, I revisited the foundation for @thenewstack.io. [1/3]

SDKMan is a handy tool, but some usability tweaks would be much appreciated: - Make the "java" argument optional, if the version is unambiguous (`sdk use tem-21.10` rather than `sdk use java tem-21.10`) - If I say "use xxx" and it's not installed, don't just die, offer to install it then proceed 🧵

With @geoand86.bsky.social, we have been busy integrating Project Leyden into Quarkus and improving startup time. This is the first of two blog posts presenting this work. Feedback welcome!

“Java is the new Python” sounds wrong until you remove the ceremony. JBang + Java 21 finally give Java a scripting workflow without giving up types, concurrency, or performance. This isn’t a language war. It’s a tooling wake-up call. buff.ly/w8NTDTI #Java #JBang #DeveloperExperience #Programming

Open infrastructure is not free. And it’s starting to crack. Every pip install,, mvn install, gradle build, cargo build depends on shared infrastructure that is: - underfunded - overstretched - treated as “someone else’s problem”

What do we need to make 2026 successful Year of Java in the Terminal? A Java CLI testing framework! It is a true coincidence that CLI Assured was born in Dec 2025 Let's code and test Java CLI apps! github.com/l2x6/cli-ass...

Why Java is the real production language for AI. Python is ideal for experiments, but enterprise AI needs predictable concurrency, type safety, and stable runtimes. Java already gives us that, plus native performance through ONNX Runtime and Project Panama. Read: buff.ly/0j6CZ8O #Java #AI #ONNX

The "sanctions" against heads of European NGOs for simply doing there job under the law on #HateSpeech (where much was outsourced by the industry to "trusted flagers" and alike) is another level and is obviously very close to home @noyb.eu. It's urgent to support your local Digital Rights NGOs.

CLI Assured 0.0.1-alpha6 brings some syntactic sugar for fans of Behavior-Driven (Given-When-Then) testing github.com/l2x6/cli-ass...

CLI Assured is a Java DSL for testing Command line programs. New in release 0.0.1-alpha3: • Line assertions do not require caching the whole output, so large stdout won't lead to an OutOfMemoryError • New kinds of assertions for lines, number of bytes, exit codes, etc.

1/9 It sounds like a cliché 🙄, but software features are like the imaginary iceberg. Only a small part is the initial contribution, which is easily visible from a distance. But most of it is the hidden part of the ongoing maintenance.

At this year's @devoxx.com I had a chat with @smarks.bsky.social on ensuring immutable collections when creating a Java record. His suggestion was interesting enough to warrant a new blog post on the subject: codeadventures.littlebluefrog.nl/posts/09-col...
