A key Java survey came out this month - theAzul State of Java Survey and Report. With 2000 respondents, it was interesting to learn that Java 11 was the most popular JDK version, and that 72% were using non-Oracle solutions.  We were also pleased that  19% of respondents reported Payara as their application server of choice, beating GlassFish, TomEE & WildFly!

Devoxx Belgium was a key Java event this month, attended by everyone from Java legend James Gosling, to fairies on stilts: you'll have toread our roundup blogto see them. It was a hub of Java learning and knowledge sharing. Payara's Patrik Dudits delivered a talk, 'Elementary Full stack Development with Hypermedia and Java 21,' You canwatch it backnow.
