This is my book about Quantum Computing for developers: https://www.manning.com/books/quantum-computing-in-action
The samples, and the QC simulator are written in Java, and hopefully readable to all programmers.
The #1 question I get is: "Why did you do this in Java?" With Java being very mature, secure, reliabled, with 12 million Java devs around, and a huge active ecosystem, I'd rather ask: "Why not?"
Java is really great for scientific work.
When you hire #Java devs, how do you know if their skills are up to the task? Maybe we need a community-validated mechanism, based on testing actual coding skills (rather than multiple choice tests). @roywass #OpenValue has answers and you can join in on Foojay Today!

We're working with #Foojay on a better way to measure software dev skills. If you want to join or learn more, let me know! More here https://foojay.io/today/foojay-developer-certification-measure-skills/
@raiderrobert Hard to pick one.. Feel like The Doors at the moment.
@raiderrobert yes, especially if you write nice modular code. Prevent the network overhead complications if you can.
JEP 445: 'Evolve the Java language so that students can write their first programs without needing to understand language features designed for large programs.'
It took the #openjdk team more than one year, but finally they agreed to merge my latest NIO performance optimization: Data transfers FROM files to non-files (like Sockets) (aka File Servers, classic Web Servers) are now several times faster and more efficient wrt power consumption and CO2 exhaust. (I already optimized transfers TO files, i. e. file-TO-file and socket-TO-file already years ago). Yes, it will be part of JDK21!
And yes: Video is under construction!
