There's still a bit of work to do, but I've just pushed out a release of my text to speech library with a new phonemizer and initial support for non-english languages.

Nice... might be a stupid question, but why not integrate it as part of Chrome itself than installing as a separate MCP server? Wouldn't that allow tight integration?

New toy, "residence graphs": tracking the compilation level for top method in the stack. On the left, normal JIT mode: compilers are busy, intp -> T2 -> T3 code is hot; T4 code slowly takes over. On the right, normal AOT+JIT (Leyden) mode: AOT code carries most of it, JIT happens to plug the holes.

Have high hopes for Project Leyden. Wondering if you have tried the new EA2 build (github.com/openjdk/leyd...), which has AOT compiled code and dynamic proxies. I am seeing better startup time compared to jdk25.

They said Kotlin isn’t for AI.
We rewrote our platform anyway.
Now there’s Koog — a JVM-native AI framework for production.
