I'm the author of Latte.

Some of the projects are actually forks from some of my open source from the company I founded (and later sold). Some have been around for quite a while (10+ years) and have some adoption as well.

To keep those projects going, I forked them and started Latte.

My plan is to keep working on all the projects and really start promoting it. I think it's a game changer for Java.

I'm currently working on adding HTTP/2 to our HTTP server. It's nearly done and looking really solid. And our benchmarks on it are looking like we'll be the second fastest HTTP server for Java.

It seems like this project tries to replace various battle tested and widely adopted things like sdkman, serialization libs, build systems, HTTP servers and web frameworks. Even if there's something wrong with any existing solution in every category, your scope looks a bit too ambitious, even the biggest frameworks with many contributors don't dare to do and support all of that.
I think that's why other platforms have done so much better than Java. NPM, Python, Ruby, DotNet, etc.

They all have dependency management, versioning, publishing, repository management, HTTP, web frameworks, and build tools as one complete ecosystem.

Latte's core systems are also battle tested (http, cli, jwt). They are forked from projects I built for FusionAuth, which supports around a billion users and has millions of downloads and tens of thousands of production deployments.

FusionAuth out of Denver?
Yep. Westminster technically.

That's the company I founded. I wrote most of the tools, frameworks, and libraries it uses.

can you find me on linked in or github? Love to talk, have a few ideas
