We’re Here to Transform Software Delivery
Takari is an opinionated, community focused, sustainable software company.
Takari’s focus centers around the fact that development in the JVM-based ecosystem is heavily dependent on retrieving and assembling components into runtimes and software products. Whether the components come from Maven Central or from within your organization the use of existing components is increasing and the ecosystem needs to evolve in order to make consuming and producing components easier.
In the coming months we will be open sourcing projects, and sharing some of the work we've been doing for customers.

Maven just won't die -- WTF is Takari?
January, 2014
Slides from this presentation can be viewed or downloaded here.
As some may know, a lot of work has been done at takari.io on various advanced features in Maven but, unfortunately, not enough work for these features to see the light of day. Some of the work is mine, some of other major contributors, and more recently from key customers.
To make a long story short there's a lot of cool stuff to talk about, and the work as a new venue at takari.io! In this webinar, we touch on:
- Polyglot support: Ruby, Groovy, and Scala DSLs. These have all been actively worked on in the recent past, especially the Ruby and Scala DSLs.
- Full incremental support: the complete Maven lifecycle including an incremental command line compiler based on JDT, all with m2e integration
- Aggressive parallelization: a new parallelization mode that also optimizes scheduling based on critical path analysis
- Generations: a new form of continuous delivery for Maven -- Smart delta protocol and no more SNAPHOTs!
- Shell: long-lived CLI process for Maven
Much of this work is functional, and the new parallelization mode and generations support are actively being used in production. We are still iterating on these specific features but they show a lot of promise. Where all of this code eventually lands is a question for the Maven development community. All of this work was developed outside of Apache, and how easy it is to integrate back into the Maven project remains to be seen. At the very least there is a lot of very interesting work and I wanted to start the dialog because Maven just isn't going to die :-)
