Add one dependency and write .bxm templates that have full access to HTTP scopes (url, form, cookie, request), auto-inject Spring Model attributes, and support hot-reload during development. BoxLangViewResolver integrates cleanly into Spring MVC's resolver chain alongside Thymeleaf or FreeMarker. Additional features include scheduled tasks, enterprise caching, and enhanced concurrency utilities. Requires Java 21+ and Spring Boot 3.4+. 26 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/i-benchmarked-java-on-single-board-computers-orange-pi-5-ultra-and-raspberry-pi-5-lead-the-pack-0w3tmonmi "I Benchmarked Java on Single-Board Computers: Orange Pi 5 Ultra and Raspberry Pi 5 Lead the Pack") Article Foojay.io·26w I Benchmarked Java on Single-Board Computers: Orange Pi 5 Ultra and Raspberry Pi 5 Lead the Pack A hands-on benchmark comparison of Java performance across multiple single-board computers including Orange Pi 5 Ultra, Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4, LattePanda IOTA, and several RISC-V boards. The author built a custom JBang-based benchmark runner using the Renaissance Benchmark Suite, covering seven workloads including actor concurrency, fork/join parallelism, and in-memory databases. Results show the Orange Pi 5 Ultra (ARM RK3588) leads among traditional SBCs, with Raspberry Pi 5 a close second. RISC-V boards (Orange Pi RV2, BeagleV-Fire, StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite) are viable but slower. The benchmark tool and an interactive dashboard are publicly available on GitHub. 22 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-use-java-as-a-scripting-language-p0o7jgbrx "How to Use Java as a Scripting Language") Article Foojay.io·24w How to Use Java as a Scripting Language Modern Java has evolved into a viable scripting language, eliminating traditional barriers like manual compilation and verbose boilerplate. Since Java 11, the \`java\` launcher can run source files directly without \`javac\`. Java 22 extended this to multi-file programs. Java 25 introduces Compact Source Files and Instance Main Methods, reducing boilerplate to a simple \`void main()\`. Shebang support lets Java files run as native CLI scripts. JBang further enhances this by handling dependency management (no Maven/Gradle needed), IDE integration, and GraalVM native binary export. Picocli integrates with JBang to build professional CLI tools with typed argument parsing and auto-generated help. Together, these features make Java a practical, maintainable alternative to Bash or Python for automation scripts. 25 2 [See all Foojay.io archives](/sources/foojayio/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/foojayio/best-of/2026/03#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/foojayio/best-of/2026/03","name":"Best Foojay.io Posts — March 2026","description":"The most upvoted Foojay.io posts from March 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/foojayio/best-of/2026/03#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/foojay-a-place-for-friends-of-openjdk-bdxplgywn","name":"foojay – a place for friends of OpenJDK"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/i-benchmarked-java-on-single-board-computers-orange-pi-5-ultra-and-raspberry-pi-5-lead-the-pack-0w3tmonmi","name":"I Benchmarked Java on Single-Board Computers: Orange Pi 5 Ultra and Raspberry Pi 5 Lead the Pack"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-use-java-as-a-scripting-language-p0o7jgbrx","name":"How to Use Java as a Scripting Language"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Foojay.io","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/foojayio"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/foojayio/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"March 2026"}]}]} ```
