JADEx is a solution designed to enhance null-safety in Java. Its key advantage is that existing Java developers can gain null-safety and final-by-default semantics without any learning curve. As a result, compared to migrating to Kotlin, JADEx offers a much more cost-effective way to significantly improve the stability of the legacy Java codebases that many companies continue to operate.
JADEx will be maintained for as long as I’m alive, so I suppose I’d better try to stick around as long as possible.
Seriously though, I’d love for more people to get involved and contribute to the project. The more contributors it has, the less that concern applies. If JADEx’s direction resonates with you, any contribution (whether it’s code, money, feedback, or just spreading the word) is genuinely appreciated.
It definitely looks interesting! I’ll star and follow it later, though I don’t personally know any teams that could make use of it (they all either started migrating to Kotlin years ago, or their manager got so sick of them asking that they’re stuck with Java for the foreseeable future).
Thank you! I’ll keep working to make JADEx a compelling option for teams in exactly that situation. Your interest and any feedback along the way means a lot.
