       | This is great! Better agent frameworks are sorely needed in a
       | more diverse set up languages beyond Python and TS. Thank you for
       | the work.

       | This is awesome work! It bridges the business gap between "We're
       | a Java shop" and "Here's my Jupyter notebook of my agent".
       | Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

         | If a Java shop can figure how to do that in one day, then it's
         | not a Java shop or they lack context around LLMs and framework
         | won't bridge knowledge gap.

           | Frameworks like these, and I include Microsoft Semantic
           | kernel and Google' Agent2Agent, just get in the way. Fact is
           | that Agent development is still in early stages. We daily
           | learn more about how to get the most out of LLMs. It used to
           | be "prompt engineering", this morning HN is talking about
           | "Context engineering".
           | 
           | Abstractions and frameworks like these will obfuscate
           | insights one would gain by using LLM +tools etc directly.
