I wish I could start work in cursor locally on my laptop and then when I need to or feel like going on a walk or drive tell it to continue as agent in their cloud. Feels like should be possible but not finding it. Am I blind?

Spot on. Native image might not be perfect but it’s much easier to apply and make consistent across the broad use cases Java applies.
Good explanations from @0.5ritter.de about the diffs between Leyden and GraalVM. I think an important thing to surface is that Leyden requires steps which are not easily integrated in a build pipeline: you need to build an app, then profile it, then build the AOT cache, then repackage.

If you want to stay sane while using windows builders on github actions just always use gradle --no-daemon ...
Don't tell me why I know - just know if I had just used gradle --no-daemon everywhere I would have slept much more the last few days

Maybe I’m being too naive here…but how is this different from number of users using goggle search ? Difference afaics is ChatGPT can detect it and actually counter it.

Got jbang native image build.
Now starts allot of testing/verification.
Don’t want to break users updating nor give up on jvm mode on platforms without native image.

Saying AI will remove need for development teams is like saying no one needs a carpenter/tradesman since electric tools arrived.
