Towards faster builds Quarkus: Supersonic Subatomic Java

I'm catching up on some Quarkus news and this one caught my eye
quarkus.io/blog/buildin...

It all started from "builds are slow", and the team as usual asked the 5 whys (or more) and reset all expectations to find a proper solution. Proud of this community ❤️.

100% agreed. Whenever I touch npm or pip, I see why Maven (and Gradle) and the Java ecosystem are good the way they are.

Java for Small Coding Tasks For small projects, we often reach for a scripting language, such as Python or Bash, because Java seems too heavy handed. In this interactive presentation, I want to convince you to give Java a try…

"JBang is the single easiest entry point into java" - appreciate the call-out and love all of Cay Horstmann's JavaOne video explaining many of the recent java improvements to make java useful for day to day scripting.

Or, instead of guessing/sleuthing, just use toolbox 😉

This example points Toolbox at any resolvable artifact, resolves it transitively and shows infos.

Maven Resolver Ant Tasks 1.6.0 is soon out. With a huge contribution. This awesome change makes Ant Tasks "feature complete", and it will make Ant users empowered, and also ease the possible transitioning between Ant and Maven. Also, AntBuilder really opens the door to further possibilities! #maven
