What's not to love about Java? I love that Java lets me write applications on one platform and run them on other platforms. You don't have to mess around with platform-specific SDKs, using a different library for that one platform, or inserting little code hacks to make that other platform behave. To me, that's how easy all modern programming ought to be. There's great infrastructure around Java, too, like the Maven build system and SDKMan.

As an open source enthusiast, I've used dozens (hundreds?) of libraries that are well beyond my skill or interest as a programmer. For a lot of people, including me, the available libraries are one of the things that makes a particular programming language worth using.

Microsoft has released the March-2022 update for CBL-Mariner, but the version number hasn't budged from 1.0.

Podman is well known for its seamless integration into modern Linux systems, and supporting systemd is a cornerstone in these efforts. Linux commonly uses the systemd init system to manage local services such as web servers, container engines, network daemons, and all of their interdependencies. Extending these more traditional Linux system administration practices with the modern world of containers is a natural evolution.
