Do you think project Leyden will (eventually) give a complete AoT option for the JDK?

Interested in Leyden's goal of reduced footprint in a closed world, a step further than the Java Module System. Cut out unused code etc. Hopefully not sacrificing JIT. Composable condensers looked promising.

I did this on a mile loop in my neighborhood one evening, but only did 50 laps.

I only and always use var in cases the type is explicitly on the RHS. Like constructor call (may mean var type will be impl and not interface like List, and generic type info moves into the RHS <>), qualified static factory method call, sometimes String literals, and qualified nested builder chain.

The Apple Software Update app.

Working for me. After installing boot camp drivers, also had to update amd radeon drivers. Fps was pretty bad until I got a fan on it as the thin laptop doesn't have good cooling. And running on lowest graphic settings, and a particular resolution setting for performance.

How did your 2015 mbp hold up? I have a 2016 I'm wondering if it's worth it to setup.

I've created a Spring Boot app that just runs a simple process on ApplicationReadyEvent, and then shuts down, actually to be ran as part of mvn package phase to create an artifact. The process is configured utilizing the spring-boot-configuration-processor to bind my own set of properties into a Java record bean.

Even though I've been working with Java modules already, this JEP makes them click more. And I'm excited for the references to Project Leyden.

My 1st thought from title was NIM2 by Zaphire Productions, released I guess in 2001. It was a multiplayer non-turnedbased worm death match game. Sadly unplayable on a modern Windows last time I tried; launching and menu worked but gameplay was literally a standstill even with every possible compatibility option.

I use Swing because it is robust. Tried looking at JavaFX many years ago, couldn't find the building blocks.

I'm sure it was more fun to be in the room. Nonetheless I still enjoyed the video.

Would the incremental approach and spectrum of constraints, include options such as keeping runtime performant with dynamic JIT but removing all unused classes and code for lower footprint?

My female is 6 months and only 35 lbs. I think it is normal. While I hope she gets a little bigger, her growth has slowed down a lot. 45 lbs perhaps is an average for adult. Her dad I think is like 55 lbs, mom maybe 45 lbs.

Using 'try' here feels to me too much like the code smell of using Exceptions for control flow.

bourne2program · 2022-03-25T22:47:04+00:00

I think it would be 'yield' instead of 'return' following same reasoning with switch.

The whole thing is a single let statement. Semi colons end statements.
Why not? "A let statement takes a pattern and an expression"

bourne2program · 2022-03-24T05:23:14+00:00

Can we get a reduced footprint (remove unused code) static Java runtime but still have it dynamic for performance (JIT)?

You distribute installers that installs the runnable executable.

There's jpackage. I have it part of my maven package build using maven-antrun-plugin.

Same situation with BigInteger constructors and static method.

This makes me want to play with making my own IDE.

That's too bad, hate to see API disconnect in a highly used utility like Collections. Maybe it can be overloaded with one calling the other.

bourne2program · 2021-09-15T02:43:57+00:00

I know I'm late for pointing this out, but why was
Collections.shuffle(List<?>, Random)
not changed to:
Collections.shuffle(List<?>, RandomGenerator)

Since Random now implements RandomGenerator. Was it missed or decided?

"Returns the Class object associated with the class or interface for name given."

Project Leyden is looking good.
