Software engineer turning modern Java into a lightweight scripting tool

Jens Knipper builds software across diverse environments and architectures at OpenValue in Düsseldorf. He regularly explores new technologies to find practical solutions for development challenges.

Rather than wrestling with Python or Bash, he advocates for using modern Java for everyday automation. He recently spoke about how features like shebang support, compact source files, and JBang transform Java into a lightweight scripting language.

When he isn’t exploring new codebases, Jens writes about his engineering findings on his personal blog.
