JavaScript? No. Java Scripts! – Scripting with Java by Jens Knipper
Scripting has long been dominated by languages like Python, Bash, and JavaScript—but modern Java is quietly becoming a powerful alternative.
In this talk, we’ll explore how recent Java features—such as shebang support, compact source files, and instance main methods—enable a more lightweight and interactive style of development. Combined with records and text blocks, Java becomes surprisingly effective for scripting and automation.
We’ll also dive into tools like JBang to handle dependencies and streamline more advanced scripts. Through live demos, Jens will show how you can quickly prototype, automate tasks, and write scripts that remain robust and maintainable.
By the end of the session, you’ll see Java in a whole new light: not just as an enterprise language, but as a modern and practical scripting tool.
