🔭 80TB of astrophysics data from 30+ surveys just dropped on Hugging Face — and it fits on a laptop.

Inspired by a post from Georgia Channing (@cgeorgiaw on X), we reproduced the demo in Groovy 6's #groovysh: galaxy imagery + SDSS spectra from the Multimodal Universe, pulled over HTTP and rendered inline in the terminal with the /img command.

RE: https://foojay.social/@paulk/116674044955949711

Providing a Java superset* language with more advanced functional programming features is a great direction for Apache Groovy!

Hopefully Groovy (unlike Scala and Kotlin) will remain Bootstrappable:

New post: Fanning out across a Fleet with Apache MINA SSHD and @ApacheGroovy 6.

Follow-up to Part 1's MINA ticker hub. We replace the synthetic feed with a real fleet of SSH-speaking "broker boxes" and fan out across them every tick using Groovy 6's collectParallel, ParallelScope.withPool, and Pool.virtual() — one virtual thread per host for blocking SSH I/O. The hub, protocol, and channels from Part 1 stay untouched.
