Snorkeling in Hikkaduwa. A perfect place for amateur snorkelers. The coral reef is pretty much dead, but the marine life isn't.

#Java first appeared nearly 29 years ago and has continuously grown into a robust ecosystem, largely developed by its community. Modern languages like @ballerinalang take a different approach, offering a complete platform with a consistent developer experience. All components are designed to work seamlessly together, so once you learn one aspect, everything else comes naturally.
