Java is an amazing language to work with. Millions of developers use it for daily work routines, and many mission-critical applications run on Java today. Whether we talk about banks, stock exchanges, or space, Java is prevalent and a language of choice. With the advent of Large Language Models(LLM), new opportunities are at play. While Python has been the dominating language runtime for apparent reasons, there is a misconception that creating applications, agents, or other components for LLMs should also be done in Python.
Looking forward to the talk of @omniprof on "How my views on teaching Java have changed." now.
