We re confident that pants can continue to have a better Python experience and that we can be competitive for the JVM as well

I think we can be a lot better with Python and quite a lot better for JVM especially if you re writing custom rules

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

We would like to have JVM support in the summer ish depending on whether we can find interested orgs to partner with who can also contribute some of the work which means their use cases would be the first ones to be taken care of
