Hi, Adam,

I have lots of Jakarta EE code that really can’t be migrated to Quarkus and really doesn’t need fast startup etc.

Would like to update you that I’m working on Payara so startup I almost as good as Quarkus.
Deployment is certainly just as fast as Quarkus, Project Leyden is a game changer here, and with JDK 24,
startup performance is almost as good as Quarkus is now.

Advantage of Quarkus is not as spectacular now as it was because Java is getting better in general and optimization are getting spread through all Java products.
Reflection is no longer a "no-go" for performance with Project Leyden.
Franz’ optimization work is paying off for all Java apps
Markus Karg JVM and Jersey optimization is out with Java 24 and at least doubled API performance for all frameworks.
I also worked with Payara to optimize their stuff to match Quarkus app deploy performance. Especially with Leyden.

Hi, Adam,

Did you hear about Project jtaccuino which is Jupyter notebook in Java and it’s awesome. Written in JavaFX.
Another way Python is no longer the "only way" to do data science.
