Better Java Builds with the Mill Build Tool
Mill is an open-source JVM build tool 4-10x faster than Maven and and 2-4x faster than Gradle for common workflows. With automatic caching, extensive parallelism, and easy extensibility, Mill allows you to effectively build large Java projects even as they grow in size, complexity, and number of developers. This talk will explore some of the benefits of the Mill build tool, dive into the technical details of how a modern build tool works, and show how you can try out Mill today on your greenfield or brownfield Java codebases.
Przemysław Jakubowski, Lead Java Developer at EPAM, started his career as an embedded system tester before transitioning into full-stack development. His journey spans multiple technologies, from C/C++ and Perl to Python, Java, and Angular. With over 13 years of experience, he embraces a pragmatic, “do what’s needed” approach to software development, focusing on practical and efficient solutions.
"You can't use AI in Java!" Hold my prompt
I guess you've already written a lot of prompts in ChatGPT console.
Maybe you've used it's API?
What if I tell you, that there is a way to communicate with AIs, by calling Java methods only? No HttpResponse parsing!
What if I tell you, that there is a way of getting Java objects from unstructured user inputs?
