Eleven days ago, I helped run the incredible #JSpring event at Kinepolis in Utrecht! 🇳🇱 We were completely sold out with over 800 attendees and 30+ amazing speakers sharing their knowledge. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up and made it so special! ⚡️
Hey #JSpring, want to explore virtual threads 🧵 and other Project Loom features 💻 Join me in Room 10 at 11:35 for some live demos 🧑💻
Had fun recording a tech talks video with @balarawool.bsky.social at the JetBrains office yesterday.
It was nice to catch up with @sharatchander.bsky.social once again @jcon.one Thank you for all the work you have done for the #Java community! Hope to see you soon again ❤️
It was a delight to catch up with @piotrprz.bsky.social yesterday @jcon.one Look at our Polish smiles! Ko Turk, @rijosam.com @fmartin.ch
Due to personal reasons, I’ll not be able to join VoxxedDays Amsterdam. I’m really bummed to miss it as it is such a great conference! Although this was a last minute change, the organizers were very supportive and understanding! Thanks @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com and see you all next time! 🙏
How does #Java Vector API accelerate parallelizable computations? I explored it in my new article (with an example): Estimating value of pi (π) using Monte Carlo Simulation and Vector API Read it here: www.balarawool.me/Vector-API-P...
