For small projects, we often reach for a scripting language, such as Python or Bash, because Java seems too heavy handed. In this interactive presentation, I want to convince you to give Java a try for those tasks. With the right tooling (and some convenient features in recent Java versions), Java can be a great choice for scripts, Jupyter notebooks, and even code in the browser. The benefit: compile-time typing, outstanding IDE support, and a growth path when those small projects don't stay small. The presentation will include live demonstrations of scripts, development setups, JShell usage, and notebooks.

Presented by Cay Horstmann (Teacher, Author, Java Champion, ACM Distinguished Member) at JavaOne 2025 (CA, March 2025).
