Why Java is the real production language for AI.

Python is ideal for experiments, but enterprise AI needs predictable concurrency, type safety, and stable runtimes. Java already gives us that, plus native performance through ONNX Runtime and Project Panama.

The conversations I’ve had this year with Java devs learning Quarkus were remarkably similar.

Different people. Same 10 questions.
And once those questions are answered… Quarkus finally clicks.

I turned all those hallway chats + community threads into one guide:

Love this quote: "sustainability start at the keyboard, not in the billing dashboard"
I totally agree. I often wonder how much CPU usage could be saved if all code running in clouds would be top-optimized. Pretty sure it's huge. Way more than 50%.

I prefer to write software that I believe is needed, helpful and "ethical". Often that is associated with free/hobby/spare time, and indeed it often is.
But that doesn't mean at all I'm against making money from software development (several friends have done great with it, and I'm happy for them).
