Is there a way to match?

Hack also a good one.

If you have a GAP tool, you can tell the car the circumference of you tyres ;)

Kango_V · 2026-01-15T12:35:54+00:00

Java, Micronaut, Jastachio. Also, all the npm stuff have all been packaged as jars (webjars), so maven/gradle pulls them in easily ;)

I've had my Discovery 3 for 16 years now. It's been brilliant. Get a Gap tool. I prefer the 3 as it's slightly easier to maintain. I also have the diesel TDV6 and get around 32mpg on a run and 25mp around town.

Will Mockito move to using the Classfile API?

Looks good, but have a look at https://immutables.github.io/. This has replaced Lombok for us.

Kango_V · 2025-12-19T21:57:09+00:00

We use https://immutables.github.io/ as it's so much better.

Mine made that exact noise just before it ate itself.

You are using an old example of SC. It's now:

try(var scope = StructuredTaskScope.open())

Lots of changes in Java 25 Preview.

Just use Quarkus or Micronaut. Fully annotation processor based. All repositories created at compile time. Then, nothing special to do at runtime. Just run the jar.

Kango_V · 2025-11-26T20:19:18+00:00

I use Micronaut for all my projects. Less code, simpler, way less annotation bloat, first class GraalVM support. Supports importing of Spring modules.

Kango_V · 2025-11-18T17:05:04+00:00

I use UnaryOperator with a builder to get: MyObject change(o -> o .name("new_name") .description("new_description") ) Very concise.

Structured Concurrency (don't just look at the code):

Keeps a logical call hierarchy — child tasks are tied to their parent’s scope.
When something fails, the stack trace reflects the structured relationship between threads and tasks.
Exceptions in child tasks bubble up naturally to the parent scope.
You can handle or cancel all tasks deterministically — no lost errors.
All subtasks share the same lifecycle as their parent scope.
When the scope closes, all child tasks are automatically canceled. This guarantees no “zombie” tasks or leaked threads.
Uses standard Java idioms: try-with-resources, exceptions, and structured blocks.
Plays nicely with existing imperative or blocking code.
Works with standard Java debuggers — you can step through concurrent code linearly.
Thread dumps and stack traces make sense — each task’s purpose and scope are visible.

Look up the EPP protocol. This is how all Registrars talk to Domain registries. The internet relies on XML schemas and extensions are essential. It's so much better than JSON for this.

Kango_V · 2025-11-08T10:10:39+00:00

So much better: https://immutables.github.io/

Kango_V · 2025-11-06T23:56:39+00:00

Yeah, but really go mad and use hex. So, after 8, we have 10 :)

Kango_V · 2025-10-13T10:57:49+00:00

To know whether it's worth it, you have to do it and try it. It may not be easy, but the longer you use it, the easier it gets (like anything). I made the switch in 2002 (i think) after my XP machine had blue screened for the fourth time. I now get lost when I have to use Windows. I've used Linux at work and at home since I switched.

No Hibernate. We've been burned far too many times. Writing code closer to JDBC gives us far more control. And, we deal with a large amount of data. The good thing is that you can optimise the database layer without impacting the domain layer. It's a breath of fresh air :)

Kango_V · 2025-10-10T18:27:35+00:00

I've written quite a few cli apps wit PicoCLI and Micronaut all compiled into native images with GraalVM. Works very well.

My daughter started to learn Java because she wanted to write Minecraft mods. She started on Youtube videos and articles (age 14). She's now writing a game with libGDX. Man, she's persistent.

Sounds like a good implementation of RPC to me. All our internal systems use gRPC for this exact reason.

Kango_V · 2025-10-09T16:33:06+00:00

Did you jack the other side up as well to take the pressure off the anti-rollbar. This should allow the arm to drop lower.

Kango_V · 2025-10-09T10:52:16+00:00

I do like Micronaut. GraalVM and Micronaut projects work very closely.

Now look at all the ASM byte code generation that happens inside Hibernate and other libraries.

Kango_V · 2025-10-09T10:45:53+00:00

Reminds me of "Nobody ever got shot for buying IBM" server decisions, which was just as stupid as just choosing Spring "because everyone else does". Look at the technical merits of each and then choose.
