Java Is Becoming a Monster (And I Love It)
I used to think Java was done. Stale. Verbose. A relic.
But now? It mutated. It spawns 5000 virtual threads like it’s nothing.
I just built a REST service:
✅ Runs on virtual threads
✅ Functional pipelines
✅ Only a few MB RAM
✅ No thread-pools
✅ No leaks
✅ Pure JVM
This isn't Java 8 anymore.
✨ No Groovy. No Kotlin. No detours.
Java is now useful and gets Beautiful.
And then there’s GraalVM:
If you skip reflection and runtime init, you get:
⚡ Native executables
⚡ Instant startup
⚡ Tiny memory
⚡ No runtime surprises
Game. Changed.
But OSS frameworks?
Still look frozen in 2015.
Heavy, reflective, runtime-hacked monsters.
So I built my own tools:
🔥 TypeMap
→ Zero-reflection json/xlm reader & type converter
→ GraalVM native
→ Fast. Simple. Functional.

⚔️ Nano
→ Anti-framework
→ Static main, no DI magic
→ Pure, clean design

🧪 Nano example app
➡️ One single static main file

🛠 API-Doc-Crafter
➡️ Native CLI doc tool

Java isn't just catching up.
It’s setting the pace now.
The only question is:
Can frameworks and libraries keep up?
