I told you that I started a new Java contract on January 3. Two sprints in, I can share that I’m working with some technologies I haven’t touched before. Namely Spring Boot 3, Kubernetes, MongoDB, and React. After many years, I also work with Maven again — and realize I still like Gradle a lot better.

Happy New Year to all of you! Here’s my resolution for the new year: Read the freakin’ calendar. You know, as in, “Read the calendar before determining the date of the next issue”, so that a wrong date, like “Wednesday, January 3, 2023”, doesn’t show on these pages. The first Wednesday in 2023 was January 4, of course. 😩

Did the report somehow feel longer today? Yes, the popularity trends & recommendations for what you need to build a Java application today are all right there on the front page! No more clicking through to the Technology Index with its own page. This makes it easier to read. And no, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before!

After updating all charts for Google searches and questions at Stack Overflow last month, I thought maybe this month would be less work. Well, it wasn’t: I started to measure the popularity of IDEs and build tools. Why? Because we need them to build Java applications! With IDEs, build tools, JVM languages, databases, back-end frameworks, web frameworks, and mobile app frameworks, I hope I don’t have to add a new section anytime soon. 😅

Did you notice something different about the charts for Google searches and questions at Stack Overflow in the Technology Index section? Let’s take the Google searches for web frameworks as an example. They now show the current score of a technology in the label (e.g., “Angular: 51”). And they show when and how a technology peaked, using its (slightly dimmed) color (e.g., “Jul 2019: 84” for Angular).

Apart from my day job, I worked on two projects last month: An InfoQ article series about native Java and talks for May. Well, I’ve worked on the article series for a couple of months now, but the articles only started appearing in April. Now I’m the editor, not the author. That means I provide input on the directions of the article. And then I review the article drafts, trying to make the articles both clearer and shorter - on behalf of the InfoQ readers. 😃 Read all about the four article that have been published so far in this news story.

My first highlight was the InfoQ Java Trends Report. I’m an author there for the first time! It took a while to get it published. But I hear that’s normal with that so many authors.
