• the state of the Octoverse blog from yesterday is really interesting! Typescript and Java changed places, which makes sense because Typescript is encroachign on JavaScript's territory and JavaScript is arguably the number one most popular (or infamous, anyway) language. Also: Singapore apparently has more than one million developers, which is great because there's not even six million people in the country, making it the country with the highest…

As a follow-up to the Runtime efficiency with Spring blog post, I am happy to share that our exploration of Project Leyden optimizations has led to some interesting discoveries regarding the JDK's little-used CDS ("Class Data Sharing") feature and has materialized into a new feature that we have been able to ship in Spring Framework 6.1.

Second, it's my inaugural post as a member of the Broadcom family. Exciting times!
