JBang, a Java File to Rule Them All? 💍

JBang lets Java developers write and run a single Java file (including external dependencies) instantly, avoiding project scaffolding, Maven/Gradle setup, and long initialization. The session demonstrates live-coding with JBang to show how to do quick scripting and small automation tasks in Java instead of switching to languages like Python.
