ORIGINAL TALK TITLE
Faster, Greener and Happier − Why Quarkus Should Be Your Next Tech Stack

RESOURCES

ABSTRACT
Java never went away, but it’s having a renaissance. After some initial teething pains on the cloud (too big, too slow, too hard to configure) a new breed of Java frameworks are changing everything.

In this talk, Holly will introduce Quarkus and then delve into some of the advanced features you might not know about. She’ll cover native binaries, what makes Quarkus super-fast running on the JVM, TDD with Quarkus, and Quarkus’s carbon footprint. The talk includes some theory (what underpins Quarkus’s surprising speed?) and also live demos (does Quarkus really start faster than a light bulb? What does an integration testing flow with Quarkus look like?) [...]

I had the "pleasure". My conclusion: it is just a worse and more complex Spring Boot. The compilation features are not useable in real life business applications due to compatibilty issues and most other features make it just harder to use. It works, Quarkus is OK, and it is a very good idea if you want to write rather simple, technical modules in Java (instead of Go or the like) but else, it will not be your friend.

Java may be going the way of COBOL. Sure people still use it. And will continue to use it for years to come. But, mostly in legacy projects. It is very rare to see a new startup pick up Java.

Oracle's Java is too old and fading cuz they don't take care about the language. and Actutally, the company which has made Java this successesful in serverside dev is IBM. IBM and Redhat team must create new generation language for you. You have enough ablilty to do it
