- The article argues that Java, particularly with the Embabel agent framework, is superior to Python for building AI agents.
- A comparison is made between CrewAI (Python) and Embabel (Java) using a book-writing application as an example.
- CrewAI's implementation involves multiple agents and tasks defined in YML, with Python code for wiring up the flow.
- Embabel's approach uses a planner for flow determination, emphasizes type safety, and integrates seamlessly with Spring for configuration.
- Key advantages of Embabel include type safety, better configurability, production readiness, and superior concurrency management.
- The article concludes that the JVM, especially with Java or Kotlin, offers a better programming model for AI agents than Python.
