My contribution for this year's Java advent calendar: Quarkus LangChain4j extension from grounds up @JavaAdvent @QuarkusIO @langchain4j https://t.co/gAlmabonrK

#Java celebrated its 30th 🎂-day, 15 of those we had a #JavaAdvent edition, celebrating one more year in a great community. Now, we are opening the CfP 2025 edition. Fill it in, and let's get some proper fun in celebrating Java X-mas: https://t.co/UmtwGjbLDh #javaadvent25 #cfp

🎄 Because of the world, we, the software industry, must skim our containers. So, our own Italian Santa, @and_prf: https://t.co/BIIYFDTtk9, shares what happened on #Wasm front for @Java

🎄 No 24: I don't know when we have it, but it became another tradition of the JavaAdvent to have an update of the changes coming in @EclipseCollect. We almost missed it, but @NikhilNanivade took action and here is this year's edition:

🎄 No 24: The holidays' magic is more than just receiving is also about giving. It's about communities and open governance. @heathervc reminds us about the power of @jcp_org and how @Java moves forward. https://t.co/6ipOjjvuEs

🎄 No 23: @Java is one of the most mature ecosystems, and regardless of what we want to underline, it is the backbone of the enterprise software. @ixchelruiz underlines why Java is the best choice for enterprise yesterday, today and tomorrow

🎄No 22: Events transformed the scale of the systems we build, but in the meantime, they also scaled our challenges. In this #async world, you must consider how to test it. @AdsChosen has some thoughts:

🎄 No 21: How do you ensure you don't have unexpected issues with your system? In the world of #serverless and #microservices, you must hold your fort and do #contracttesting. @VladimirD_42 shares his thoughts on #PACT and how you can do it in @java

🎄 No 20: @Java is not the language that most of the internet thinks of as lean, fast and cool. But things have changed, and @QuarkusIO has a few tricks under its belt. @kevindubois tells us a story of #Serverless

🎄 No 19: We, developers, were already playing the catch-up game when #GenAI happened. What's next? How are you keeping pace with this one?! @syshaaf got you covered https://t.co/pcECUPlIb8

🎄No 18: In the age of speed, everything needs to be fast. If we want to save 🌍 too, it should be efficient and small. #Wasm has this promise, and @evacchi has something to say to the @java geekfor the third time in a row 😎

🎄 No 17: @graalvm doesn't require any introduction, but for those who need it, it makes your @java smaller, faster and more secure. Still, asking for more details? @alina_yurenko put together 5 Apps Designed for Graal: https://t.co/XuYjNyQanm

🎄No 16: "Code ages like milk, not wine". Alex Adam challenges this saying in his article, weaving together concepts from #DDD and #eventdriven https://t.co/EVkToO52tU

🎄 No 15: Online shopping is not the coolest kid in the technology sector. But add the global scale and the tons of parallel users, and you get yourself a challenge. @Jamie_Lee_C:

🎄 No 14: @Java is the foundation of the internet as we know it. Over the years, it has built on multiple concepts. And now we need to ditch them? @mgrygles makes a parallel between Java classic concepts and #GenAI

🎄 No 13: Lucky number 13 is always a good day to discuss fantastic creatures and myths. So, 13 is dedicated to that rare breed called "full-stack developer". @LoMagnette wants to share his secret with us on the topic:

🎄 No 12: The curiosity killed the cat. But in the case of optimisation, it might help. @jag_hamilton presents how we can build a peephole optimiser:

🎄No 11: "Java is everywhere" was a line that underlined the significant benefit of @java back in the day. How about today? @cayhorstmann, modern Java can be used in situations you might have never considered, such as replacing bash scripting.

🎄 No 9: The magic of crucial infrastructure is that it works. Do you talk much about your plumbing? Except for when it doesn't work?! Piotr Krzeminski provides us insight into how to bring together @kotlin and @GitHub actions:

🎄No 10: Some would argue that an application could never have enough performance. But, at points, we hit a plateau! @ArturSkowronski presents the masterful art of #mechanicalsympathy to squeeze even more performance:
