“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.

I see. We have an open ticket to support publishing to Nix via JReleaser. Haven’t figure out yet how to do it 😅

So, what’s the recommended way with Gradle to bump version numbers (from snapshot, to final, and back to snapshot) with intermediate commits? Similarly as it happens with maven-release-plugin.

Over at the 🐘 social platform someone mentioned #OneDev to me, which appears to be developed in Germany, offering a good set of features that may be worth integrating as well

Thank you! JReleaser already supports Woodpecker. Guess I could write an entry for Crow as well. WRT Forgejo Marketplace, my thoughts were that perhaps an explicit action (native to Fogejo) would be needed i stead of relying on the existing GH action

So, what’s the current state of running CI jobs with Forgejo/Codeberg? Do they have their own action marketplace? Dedicated/managed runners? Etc

Munch iterated The Scream for years.
We refactor code the same way.
Talks work like that too.
Make it work. Make it better later.
