Java and the Next Generation of Programming Models

This Devoxx Belgium 2026 session covers how Java can interact with AI models, query languages and other specialized programming models. It starts with the Foreign Function and Memory API and the jextract tool for interacting with runtimes outside the JVM. It then explores Project Babylon's code reflection, which lets you express AI models as Java programs that Babylon can analyze, transform and lower to inference engines, leveraging hardware accelerator backends while skipping external model files or the need to glue code.
