On Foojay: Stéphane Bury explains Arcana, an open-source Java library and CLI that lists, extracts and identifies 40+ archive and disk image formats. No native code, no dependencies, Java 8+, 1.2 MB JAR. foojay.io/today/arcana... #Java #OpenSource

🎉 JBang just passed 3 MILLION binary downloads! A 2019 experiment to make Java easier to run — `jbang hello.java` — has quietly become Java infrastructure. ~1,000 downloads/day, 130+ countries, Java 8 → Java . Thank you 🙏 https://www.jbang.dev/learn/somehow-jbang-just-passed-3-million-downloads

Almost at 3 million downloads of JBang! 🎉 Screenshot the counter when it hits it in the next week! Thank you to everyone who uses, contributes to, and shares JBang. You make this happen. www.jbang.dev/usage/downlo...

CLI Assured is a Java DSL for testing or executing command line applications. Release 0.1.0 brings some API enhancements and a proper documentation published at cli-assured.org

🎉 The BaselOne 2026 Program is taking shape! Curious who’s taking the stage in Basel this October? 👉 baselone.org/en/baselone-... 🎟️ Regular tickets are now available on baselone.org #BaselOne26 #SoftwareArchitecture #Java

Wrote about the migration to Aesh in JBang at https://www.jbang.dev/learn/from-picocli-to-sh-how-porting-jbang-s-cli-made-everything-better/ Yet again we see what impact reflection vs build time processing can have on even the small things!

🚀 JBang 0.139 is out! ⚡ picocli → Aesh: 2-5x faster startup 🖥️ Native binaries (early access) 🔍 Smart tab completion for scripts, GAV, GitHub URLs 🔎 New deps search TUI 📦 Multiple JDKs per major version https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang/releases/tag/v0.139.2

ÖBB, das unfriendly captcha in Ihrer App ist ganz schön nervig. Warum um Gottes Willen auf jedem Screen 🤦

Nach dem Vorfall in den Niederlanden denke ich, dass es definitiv Zeit für einen Ausstieg aus Microsoft 365 ist. Ich habe diesen vor zwei Jahren vollzogen und sehr zufrieden und vor dem Willkür der USA geschützt bei @infomaniak.bsky.social www.itmagazine.ch/artikel/8725...

Working on picocli to aesh migration the last few weeks for JBang. The startup difference is amazing: 2-17x faster. JVM mode is now amazing but native mode is even faster. lesson learned again and again - reflection is a startup killer; build-time makes all the difference!

I am very happy to share that I will speak at @baselone.bsky.social 2026 on October 15 in Basel. My session: Wenn Spezifikationen den Takt vorgeben #BaselOne #BaselOne2026 #SpecDrivenDevelopment #AIUnifiedProcess #AIUP #SoftwareArchitecture #Java #AI

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...

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

Alessio Soldano & Stefano Maestry tried it for us m.devoxx.com/events/vdz26...

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

"... 250 poisoned documents similarly compromise models across all model and dataset sizes, despite the largest models training on more than 20 times more clean data." arxiv.org/pdf/2510.07192

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!

We'll be shredding at Voxxed Days Zürich! Tuesday, March 24th, 2026 github.com/quarkusio/qu... #quarkusworldtour

DOMTrip is great for headless editing of XML

“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

We are hiring! This position is directly for my team - do you want to be my colleague? We are a great team in a great company, working hard on an interesting system and yet still maintaining our work-life balance. #hiring jobs.danaher.com/global/en/jo...

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”
