About Haoyi Li

A MIT graduate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Haoyi has deep experience in the JVM and its related technologies. He is a major contributor to the open source community with a focus on JVM developer tools which he has used professionally to build cloud infrastructure, distributed backend systems, programming languages, and high-performance web applications for high-growth companies like Facebook, Dropbox and Databricks.

Talk 1: Untapped Potential in the Java Build Tool Experience

The Java language is known to be fast, safe, and easy, but Java build tools like Maven or Gradle sometimes don't quite live up to that standard.

In this talk, Haoyi will explore what "could be": where current Java build tools fall behind modern build tools in other communities, in performance, extensibility, and ease of getting started, ending with a demonstration of an experimental build tool "Mill" that makes use of these ideas, proving out the idea that Java build tooling has the potential to be much faster, safer, and easier than it is today.

Talk 2: Deep Dive into JVM Build Optimization Techniques

Following on, Haoyi's second talk of the evening will deep dive into some techniques the Mill build tool uses to optimize developer experience; Zero-Config Test Parallelism, Selective Test Execution, Incremental Assembly Jar Creation, and many more.

He will explore what these techniques are, and how they use well-known algorithms and JVM capabilities to provide measurable speedups to your local development cycle.
