Supercharge Your Java Applications with Python

Discover how to enhance Java applications with Python in this interactive conference talk. Learn to embed GraalPy, the Python runtime built by the GraalVM team, into Java projects. Start with simple Python code evaluation, then explore Maven and Gradle plugins for installing additional Python packages. Dive into live demonstrations showcasing various use cases, including a Micronaut application using Hugging Face transformers, an AWT application visualizing data with Python on JBang, a Jupyter kernel mixing Java and Python, and a Java application scripted with Python. Explore beyond Python to embed other languages like JavaScript for server-side rendering or scripting Java applications. Learn how to compile and embed user-defined functions written in C++ or Rust using WebAssembly. Gain insights into leveraging the Python ecosystem's powerful packages for data science and machine learning within Java applications, and engage in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding of this powerful integration.
