You've largely ignored everything I’ve said. Instead, you proposed workarounds – which is precisely what most people want to avoid. Who distributes applications as fat jars? What i…

Cool - but I really was hoping for a maven coordinate or a .jar since then I could run it directly with jbang :)

yes, so now you know it exist - give it a try :) and yes, works on npm, uvx, etc. too. `npx @jbangdev/jbang`

ok, but what practical implications does it has? Pretty sure many other runtimes aren't exactly supported on all platforms by single vendor/projects?

it shows you definitely use a certain niche of Java but I hear you on the funny part. When I started showing that its just fine to name a class, `myapp` and run it with jbang myapp…

I guess I should never use Go because I was stuck not having a working debugger, complain about Python because it is single threaded, or javascript because its a typeless mess, or …

Yeah, well - I didn't make a factual claim and then questioned it. I asked who is with me? - and no nor yes is not a meaningful answer to that :)

There is already a lot of Java in agentic systems and IDE integrations — but that alone won’t break the stereotype. The real blocker isn’t capability, it’s perception: many people …

Thats part of what I want to do more of in 2026 and I hoping others will help as otherwise I'll just be sitting in my own quiet echo chamber :)

I'm definitely not going try to force it upon those who don't like java - but I'm saying that the Java peg is way more round than most believe so don't just start using another sli…

I'm sorry, but this is a big load of crap and that includes some of the comments in here. Java enthusiasts are the absolute world champions of sugarcoating the shortcomings of Java…

hmm - automatic download of source code just works for me in vscode...? "java.maven.downloadSources": true in config if you don't just use maven's automatic download for it. pause …

thats why you use jreleaser and publish it so you just run it as `foobar` Lets please not mix up good dev flows with end user flows...this is not unique problem for java.

I agree the build might take a bit extra but its for sure not much for smaller clis. Making jbang native added 1-2 minutes and its all done in github action runners so in practice …

Thats my whole point in my blog - we need to change the mindset. Other ecosystems just have much less "enterprise rules" applied to them - break free :)

Yes - this is what we need more off - just not only in clojure space. I done https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang-jash for shell processes and smallrye process io also done a lot for …

I felt and did the same as you - until I made jbang as I was tired of seeing kotlin script being included to just write java... Then when I had ability to write java scripts with d…

ah - tui4j is continuation of latte. Cool - now I grok why it looked similar. cool!

cool - you've hidden that well as I spent a lot of time searching for these. Will definitely check it out. ...where is the jar for brief? :)

jbang install does the same. Not enough for you?

what is it that you feel jbang does not solve in this?

java took a hit on this move by Java and Oracle...and the way they still provide a java executable that tells you to download from somewhere else is really annoying - but you do re…

just because Oracle stopped distributing JDK's is not the same as not possible. Anyone can step up to do this. https://github.com/psumbera/solaris-openjdk seem to work?

This is not true. Even Eclipse and Intellij ship openjdk based runtimes with their distributions and have even stricter GPL limits.
