Hello Java Enthusiasts!
For March 2009, The Tampa Java User Group will hosts another great
meeting investigating the use of the Spring Framework's dynamic
language. With the growth in popularity languages such as Groovy,
Ruby, Python, etc JSR-223 introduced inherent support dynamic
languages on the VM via the Scripting API. In the next meeting,
speaker RJ Salicco will explore how to integrate scripting into your
own Java developmen using the Spring Framework's support for dynamic
languages.
You will receive a RSVP email (to follow later) to confirm your
attendance so we can plan accordingly. Arrive early and bring a
colleague to enjoy this great topic. There will be food and plenty of
giveaways.
Don't forget, you can now follow the group on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tampajug

* How to use the Spring configuration tag to declare
your dynamic bean
* Refreshing dynamic beans at runtime without restart

The Gradio team has released Daggr, a new open-source Python library designed to simplify the construction and debugging of multi-step AI workflows. Daggr allows developers to define workflows programmatically in Python while automatically generating a visual canvas that exposes intermediate states, inputs, and outputs for each step in the pipeline.

A Cloudflare blog post claiming a "production-grade" Matrix homeserver on Workers didn't survive community scrutiny. Missing federation, incomplete encryption, and TODO comments in authentication logic pointed to unreviewed AI output. Matrix's Matthew Hodgson welcomed the effort but noted the implementation "doesn't yet constitute a functional Matrix server."
