GraalVM 22.1, the latest update to Oracle’s polyglot runtime, introduces a significant enhancement for developers with its new quick build mode for Native Image. Released on April 26, this feature aims to reduce the time required for ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation of Java applications into standalone executables. While still in its early stages, quick build mode offers a promising solution to the lengthy build times that have been a common pain point in AOT compilation workflows. The quick build mode achieves faster compilation by operating in an economy mode, applying fewer optimizations during the build process. This trade-off results in a…

Microsoft has embraced a cross-platform development paradigm, reshaping its tools and ecosystem over recent years. This shift began with the acquisition of Xamarin, which laid the foundation for a comprehensive development platform spanning devices, operating systems, and cloud environments. Today, this vision has materialized in a robust toolchain powered by Visual Studio, integrated with GitHub for collaboration, and backed by the scalable .NET 6 framework. The result is a seamless development experience, whether you’re building apps for Kubernetes in the cloud or delivering solutions to mobile devices. A key component of this transformation is the evolution of Xamarin’s Forms UI…

Developer satisfaction with the Go programming language continues to be exceptionally high, with 92% of users expressing positive feedback, according to the results of the Go Developer Survey 2021. This marks a steady level of satisfaction compared to the previous year, reflecting Go’s enduring popularity in the developer community. However, despite its positive reception, there are still barriers preventing broader adoption of the language for certain types of projects. Among the developers who participated in the survey but did not use Go for a specific project, a significant portion pointed to missing features and resources as the primary obstacles. 39%…

C# 11, part of the upcoming .NET 7 release, brings several exciting new features aimed at improving both developer productivity and runtime performance. This version focuses on enhancing the language with raw string literals and checked user-defined operators, alongside optimizations for better performance, particularly for ASP.NET applications. C# 11 is expected to significantly reduce the complexity of string handling and provide developers with more control over custom operators, while also improving the overall efficiency of applications with minimal effort required on their part. One of the standout features of C# 11 is the introduction of raw string literals, which are…

The cloud computing landscape is rapidly advancing, simplifying the development and deployment process for developers. With automated deployment and hosting platforms, advanced front-end frameworks, and robust back-end databases, building full-stack applications has never been easier. This article demonstrates how to leverage Vercel, SvelteKit, and MongoDB to create a serverless application. Each of these technologies excels in its respective domain, and when combined, they offer a powerful, streamlined approach to full-stack development. To showcase these tools, we’ll build a simple application that allows users to submit two pieces of data: an apothegm (a concise piece of wisdom) and its author. The…

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is officially becoming a supported Linux distribution for Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), a feature that allows Windows users to run a Linux environment natively, without the need for a virtual machine. This move, announced on November 19 by both Red Hat and Microsoft, represents a significant step forward in integrating enterprise-level Linux environments directly into the Windows ecosystem. Currently, users can run various Linux distributions on WSL, but with RHEL becoming an official option, Microsoft aims to simplify the process of discovering and installing RHEL for WSL users. In the coming months, Red…

For years, the Spring framework has been the go-to solution for back-end Java development, but a new generation of frameworks is beginning to challenge that dominance. Among these, Micronaut stands out as one of the most promising contenders. Developed by the same team behind the Grails framework, Micronaut is designed with modern cloud architectures in mind, offering a powerful, lightweight alternative to the established frameworks. In this hands-on introduction to Micronaut, we’ll dive into its core features and functionality. We’ll begin by building a simple RESTful API application, before refactoring it for reactive non-blocking I/O (NIO) to highlight Micronaut’s performance…

C# has experienced a notable surge in popularity, according to the latest Tiobe programming community index. While the language still holds steady at the fifth position in the Tiobe rankings for May 2022—unchanged from the previous year—its overall rating has seen a significant increase. The language now boasts a rating of 6.39%, a remarkable 1.98 percentage point increase from 4.41% in May 2021. This growth highlights the rising demand and adoption of C# within the programming community. Tiobe attributes C#’s continued success to its status as one of the most mature and versatile programming languages in use today. The language…

“Hope springs eternal in the human breast,” wrote Alexander Pope, and though he was a poet, not a programmer, he surely would have understood the excitement that comes with discovering a new programming language. Software developers, ever the optimists, hold out hope that the next language they encounter will be the one—a language so perfectly designed it could solve our coding challenges with ease. We dream of a syntax so intuitive that our ideas flow effortlessly into logical, elegant rules, producing code that feels as natural as breathing. There’s something thrilling about the thought of a new programming language—its potential…

Apache Kafka, the leading platform for distributed event streaming, is undergoing a significant architectural shift. The platform is phasing out Apache ZooKeeper, its long-standing metadata management tool, in favor of an internally developed alternative. This move is set to simplify Kafka’s architecture, improve scalability, and streamline cluster management for users. ZooKeeper has historically been used to store Kafka’s cluster metadata, manage dynamic configurations, and oversee topic partitions. However, as Colin McCabe, a member of Kafka’s project management committee and an engineer at Confluent, explains, ZooKeeper introduces an additional layer of complexity. Transitioning to an internal metadata management system will allow…
