Foojay Podcast #69: All Things Java at VoxxedDays Amsterdam
A conference floor at VoxxedDays Amsterdam holds dozens of small conversations that rarely make it to a recording. This episode breaks that pattern by stitching many of those hallway chats into one show. Geertjan Wielenga asked every guest the same two questions about what they care about in Java right now and what they want to share with the community. The guest list includes Ko Turk, Stephan Janssen, Lutske de Leeuw, Johannes Bechberger, Christian Tzolov, Tom Cools, Eric-Wubbo Lameijer, Abraham van de Vyver, Soham Dasgupta, Josh Long, Susanne Pieterse, Brian Vermeer, Anton de Ruiter, Rafael De Lio, Jonathan Stronkhorst, Jos Roseboom, Soroosh Khodami, Artem Makarov, Kaya Weers, Eddy Vos, Paco van Beckhoven, Hanno Embregts, Martijn van Iersel, Charl Fasching, and Joris Kuipers, making this the first Foojay Podcast ever with more than 20 guests.

What stood out
Twenty-plus voices in one episode give a wide snapshot of where Java developers focus their energy. The same two questions surface very different answers depending on the guest’s background. That variety is the whole point.
