Abstract dell'intervento:
This talk will explore use of JVM languages as scripting languages, replacing the Bash and Python scripts common throughout the industry. We will walk through live-coded demonstrations of how the JVM's benefits of performance, compile-time safety, and vast library ecosystem are advantages over traditional script platforms, but also how language verbosity, build tool overhead, and lack of convenient libraries hampers the efforts. Lastly we will demonstrate how script-focused tooling, libraries, and languages are able to smooth over some of those issues, simplifying build configuration and providing suitable libraries to make the JVM truly a world-class scripting environment as robust as any scripting language out there.
