Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring!, this one written from the back of a taxi racing to the local Frankfurt train station, where I'll take a train to Munich for the amazing Kotlin Conf 2026 edition, where I'll be part of the keynote and deliver a talk on the latest and greatest in Kotlin and Spring. It's going to be a ton of fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there! Don't hesitate to say println("hi")! It's Germany, and the autobahn really is scarily, um, efficient, so I'm gonna get this post down while I still can! Let's dive right into it!
