@JoeHenzi @jlink @chrisstoecker I want to see these “thousands of high severity vulnerabilities” and why they are considered high severity. Security is not exempt from scientific methods. Show the data, publish a peer-reviewed paper. In this state, is just marketing by an AI company.

@javahippie Looking more for the JavaScript rendering code but as I am still able to navigate good old boot sources and thyme leaf, I found what I was looking for :)
