"Scripting JS and Python with Project Detroit" with Mikael Vidstedt [AtA]

from Inside Java Hosted by Nicolai Parlog

OpenJDK recently resurrected Project Detroit, an effort to ease Java's interoperability with Python and JavaScript. Interestingly, while both integrations will work through the _java.scripting_ API, there are still differences between them. On top of that, the JavaScript integration needs to explain how it related to the removal of Nashorn in JDK 16. In this "Ask the Architect" episode of the Inside Java Podcast, recorded during JavaOne 2026, Nicolai Parlog talks to Mikael Vidsted, lead of the Java Virtual Machine team at Oracle, about Project Detroit.
