Previously I shared a blog post comparing Java JNI and FFM examples, the follow up is compiling these back to native images using GraalVM https://lofthouse.dev/2026/02/20/java-back-to-the-native/ #JNI #FFM #Native #Java #GraalVM

For most of my career I have stayed in the Java space and not strayed into native code, recently I have been experimenting with those two worlds coming together include with the new Foreign Function APIs.

This is just a record of my experimentation so far but in case someone finds it useful I have published as a blog post https://lofthouse.dev/2025/03/29/beginning-native-java-development/

@Cannonfodder @recantha Just got back from my first #RaspberryPi #CamJam - what a great event - well done to everyone who put it together.

Old habbits die hard, walk into a university lecture theatre and can't resist the urge to sit in the same location from 25 years ago! #CamJam

@kicad Was a nice surprise when my local flatpak install moved to 8. #kicad8

First attempt at designing a custom PCB and having it printed. Plenty of lessons learnt but it works! #KiCad #OshPark #RaspberryPi
