For me, Java 8 was tolerable. Also used IJ a lot and it hides Java verbosity and reduced a lot of typing. That's why I didn't really see the need to switch. For better or worse, these days I don't even open IJ and just use VSCode + AI Badger mostly to review my changes. Language matters even less.

I never fully switched to Kotlin. It’s good, but not good enough. I also like the direction Java has been evolving in over the last 10 years, to the point that a JVM server is actually lighter than a Node.js server :)

Meta is one of those companies that is doing more harm than good. Scraping is just making their walled-garden content free.

Disclosure: I am the author of Scriptella. Recently I was investigating whether I could improve its CSV import performance, and decided to establish a baseline and compare it against existing tools.

I don't get HN these days - half of my comments are flagged without an explanation. Update: I am surprised this one went through.

Yeah, that's a great test case. I am planning my own follow-up to emulate Pi using virtualization and maybe use it for CI. Feel free to follow up on GitHub discussions if you run into issues with StatLite on Pi. I would be glad to help.

Great question. Low resource usage is one of my primary goals. https://github.com/PVRLabs/statlite/blob/main/docs/low-resou...

Let me know what kind of config you are interested in and I will try to run an experiment on it. I stress test StatLite in different environments, including 256MiB Alpine VPS with a Spring Boot Java app. No OOM crashes there.

Single Go binary (~15 MB RAM), compact SQLite-based storage with configurable retention. Ideal for self-hosted app monitoring. No Prometheus/Grafana stack required.

Shows app and DB health, charts for latency, http status codes, native support for Micrometer-based frameworks like Spring Boot/Micronaut/Quarkus. Simple app integration recipes for Django, Express, FastAPI, Go/Gin and others.
