Still early, but very satisfying to see it working ✨

🤯...Chicory AOT compilation to JVM bytecode is awesome. The team has ported many awesome native libraries to pure Java: github.com/roastedroot

Cool… so this is kind of a replacement for WireMock, right? If that's the case, any plans to support HTTPS (with custom cert or keystore), HTTP/2, WebSocket and other useful features?

Amazing work! Out of the 300MB, how much of that is Clojure? Also, what's the Hello World binary size with the Crema interpreter?

Protobuf4j (protoc compiled to Wasm → JVM bytecode) now supports #Kotlin code generation - github.com/roastedroot/...

The Vite for Kotlin test suite fails with Kotlin 2.3.0 because...

Kotlin Wasm has been optimized enough, that the generated Wasm file is so small, that Vite decides to inline it entirely, so there is no visible Wasm in the output

#JDK26 fixes one of the last remaining virtual thread pinning issues, virtual threads now unmount from the carrier instead of pinning while waiting on class initialization by another thread. Better performance, no deadlocks - jdk.java.net/26/release-n... #JVM

Yeah, I was also surprised to see 0% CPU usage on VisualVM when there isn't much activity. Could this have something to do with the JBR25 update?

nm, /account has BYOK option.. liking the experience so far.

Cool! Does it work with BYOK instead of using a JetBrains subscription? I was able to install it on 2026.1 EAP using the Agent Registry for some time, but it seems to have been removed from the registry now. Are there any plans to bring it back to the Agent Registry?

[GR-52220] Support for Cosmopolitan Libc · Issue #8350 · oracle/graal Feature request Build-once, run-anywhere, but for native-image Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, one must run a Native Image build for each operating system ...

It is starting to look like MCP is the new SOAP.

Calling native AI code from Java used to mean JNI pain or shelling out to Python.

With the #FFM API, that changes.

I built a local speech-to-text service using #Quarkus and whisper.cpp.
Everything runs in-process. Everything is explicit.

Feels like an important shift for #Java.
