This looks really interesting! 👏
I like the idea of extending Java with null safety and concise syntax while keeping JVM compatibility.
Is JPlus fully interoperable with existing Java libraries and frameworks like Spring Boot or Hibernate? Would love to try it in a small project.

[nieuwmijnleven]

Thanks for the kind words! 🙌 Really appreciate your interest.

JPlus is fully interoperable with existing Java libraries and frameworks*, including Spring Boot, Hibernate, and any other JVM-based ecosystem tools. One of JPlus’s core goals is to preserve maximum Java compatibility while introducing modern features like:

• Strict null safety
• Type inference
• Elvis and null-safe operators (?:, ?.)
• Gradual adoption without having to rewrite existing code

You can mix and match JPlus code with standard Java classes, and the output compiles down to clean Java bytecode. That means you can easily integrate it into existing Java projects, or try it in a small Spring Boot module without much risk.

We’d love for you to try it out and share feedback! The compiler is available on GitHub:

Let us know if you'd like help getting started, or if you have ideas for features you'd like to see. 😊

Thanks for the clarification! The interoperability and bytecode compatibility sound great — that’s exactly what I was hoping for. I’ll experiment with JPlus in a small Spring Boot + Hibernate setup and share feedback soon. Really impressed by how it keeps Java’s ecosystem intact while modernizing the syntax 👏

[nieuwmijnleven]

Thanks for your enthusiasm! 🙌
Yes, keeping full interoperability with Java libraries like Spring Boot and Hibernate is one of our core goals. The MVP is still early, so there might be rough edges, but your feedback will be invaluable as we improve.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience with JPlus in your projects — can’t wait to see what you build! 😊

[srivilliamsai]

Absolutely! I’ll dive into it soon and share my findings as I integrate it with a small Spring Boot module. It’s exciting to see how JPlus is shaping up — I really appreciate the focus on practicality and smooth adoption. Keep up the awesome work! 🚀

“Exciting project! I love the idea of safer, more concise Java code while keeping full JVM compatibility. Looking forward to trying it out!”

[nieuwmijnleven]

Thanks so much! 😊
That’s exactly the goal — keeping everything you love about Java, while smoothing out the rough edges like null safety and boilerplate. Would love to hear your thoughts if you try it out — and feel free to share feedback or ideas anytime!
