DOMTrip is great for headless editing of XML

“Java is the new Python” sounds wrong until you remove the ceremony.

JBang + Java 21 finally give Java a scripting workflow without giving up types, concurrency, or performance.

This isn’t a language war. It’s a tooling wake-up call.

Open Infrastructure is Not Free: A Joint Statement on Sustainable Stewardship – Open Source Security Foundation Help Measure CRA Awareness: Take the 2026 Cyber Resiliency Survey

Open infrastructure is not free. And it’s starting to crack.

Every pip install,, mvn install, gradle build, cargo build depends on shared infrastructure that is:

- underfunded
- overstretched
- treated as “someone else’s problem”

What do we need to make 2026 successful Year of Java in the Terminal?

A Java CLI testing framework!

It is a true coincidence that CLI Assured was born in Dec 2025

Let's code and test Java CLI apps!

Why Java is the real production language for AI.

Python is ideal for experiments, but enterprise AI needs predictable concurrency, type safety, and stable runtimes. Java already gives us that, plus native performance through ONNX Runtime and Project Panama.

The "sanctions" against heads of European NGOs for simply doing there job under the law on #HateSpeech (where much was outsourced by the industry to "trusted flagers" and alike) is another level and is obviously very close to home @noyb.eu. It's urgent to support your local Digital Rights NGOs.

I was also surprised nothing like CLI Assured existed yet. I had to write such helpers several times already.

I actually created CLI Assured to be able to test installing and running camel JBang app

CLI Assured 0.0.1-alpha6 brings some syntactic sugar for fans of Behavior-Driven (Given-When-Then) testing github.com/l2x6/cli-ass...

The project page of CLI Assured is github.com/l2x6/cli-ass...

CLI Assured is a Java DSL for testing Command line programs. New in release 0.0.1-alpha3:
• Line assertions do not require caching the whole output, so large stdout won't lead to an OutOfMemoryError
• New kinds of assertions for lines, number of bytes, exit codes, etc.

1/9 It sounds like a cliché 🙄, but software features are like the imaginary iceberg. Only a small part is the initial contribution, which is easily visible from a distance. But most of it is the hidden part of the ongoing maintenance.

Efficient record immutability with List::copyOf I’ve been talking so much about the Java record and immutability the past year that others are starting to refer to me when they run into this subject. However, there has been one thing that has been ...

At this year's @devoxx.com I had a chat with @smarks.bsky.social on ensuring immutable collections when creating a Java record. His suggestion was interesting enough to warrant a new blog post on the subject: codeadventures.littlebluefrog.nl/posts/09-col...
