the more I look into it, the more I'm convinced "agentic" workflow is just workflow, and we'd be better off just improving the UX of existing workflow solutions rather than trying to reinvent them. why do we this wheel-reinvention every. single. time?

JRuby lead Charles Nutter | A Bootiful Podcast
In this episode, we sit down with the lead of the JRuby project for a fascinating look at how Ruby and the JVM came together, how JRuby became a production-ready powerhouse, and why it still matters today. We dig into threading, performance, Invoke Dynamic, Project Loom, Panama, Valhalla, and the future of dynamic languages on the JVM. If you care about Ruby, Java, open source, or building faster, more scalable systems, you’ll want to hear this conversation with fellow Java Champion and long-serving lead of JRuby, Charles Nutter.

The next TornadoVM release 6.0 will remove completely the dependency to JVMCI and will be onwards compatible. Babylon/HAT are complementary and we may integrate some parts when they are stable. Also we will soon land a PR to integrate with SpringAI! Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
