What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI agree it hasn’t gotten adoption, but you get a pretty slim JVM if you properly modularize. Another poster in this thread said he got his image down to 30mb.
Helidon is probably the only library I know that is modularized [0].
I think once the community finally moves past jdk 8 (I’m hoping spring making 17 the base next year will help) we’ll see more adoption as more libraries modularize.
