Session
Java is one of the most popular languages (ranked 2nd by PYPL [1]), however there is a fragmented and incomplete solution when it comes to tooling available by NixPkgs.
This talk will go over the current state of affairs (what's available today), what's so difficult about Java compared to other supported languages in NixPkg and a proposed solution (mvn2nix [2]) aimed at filling the gap.
