#JavaNext

Over the last weeks, I've back-filled and updated my Java X Feature Demo, all the way up to #Java18, including a bit of vector API image manipulation for #JavaNext - check it out:

Sitting in the train to visit family over the weekend I'm watching the #JVMLS2019 talk on Project Loom by Alan Bateman and Rickard Bäckmann ( Wifi permitting, I will tweet my comments. 1/? #JavaNext

val html = ` <div> <p>OMG, I can't <b>believe</b> we get multi-line strings in #Java12!</p> </div>`.align(); #JavaNext

Chipping away at Unsafe: JEP 371: Hidden Classes "Allow frameworks to define classes as non-discoverable implementation details of the framework, so that they cannot be linked against by other classes nor discovered through reflection." #JavaNext

Java devs no longer need the visitor pattern! With sealed classes (final in #Java17) and pattern switches (preview in 17), #JavaNext offers a better and shorter solution to the problems the pattern addresses.

Want to peek into Java's future? Interested where Projects Amber, Loom, Panama, and Valhalla will bring #JavaNext? Find an hour over the weekend and let @mreinhold tell you about it: (Recorded at @DevoxxUK 2019.)

Learn everything about #JavaNext in my speedrun through projects Amber, Loom, Panama, and Valhalla at #JavaLand2022 in Wintergarten. In 3 minutes, so better hurry. 😉

Conversation with @BrianGoetz about pattern matching in #JavaNext: * why `Map::get` should be a pattern * the linear thinking trap * null handling in pattern matches * exhaustiveness in switch statements * the rehabilitation of `switch`

What a great day at @jdays2018! The slides for my talks are online: #Java11 Is Here! - Reactive HTTP/2 client, String/Optional improvements, and more #JavaNext - New Releases, Amber, Valhalla, And More Goodies

How do you name unused variables? If even just having to make that choice annoys you (it's not just me, right?), read on for how #JavaNext will fix that and make pattern matching (how's that related?!) more maintainable in the process. 🧵

Last week I gave my updated #JavaNext talk at @VoxxedZurich - in 45 minutes, you get an overview of the current state of projects Amber, Panama, Valhalla, and Loom: Here are four highlights. 👇🏾🧵

Project Amber is making progress on pattern matching in #JavaNext. Here are three recent developments that I'm very excited about and I think you will be as well. (Caveats: these are ongoing discussions; none of this is final; speculation and strawman syntax ahead)

Wohoo, #ProjectValhalla started publishing early access builds: Will play with it on Friday. This is gonna be awesome!! #JavaNext

In 15 minutes I'll talk about #JavaNext at #DevoxxFR (room 243). All about projects Loom, Valhalla, Panama, and Amber. If you want to know what 1_000_000 threads, value types, or string interpolation could look like in Java, you don't want to miss this. 😋 See you there!

Presenting #JavaNext at #jPrime (slides: I asked "What's your newest Java version in prod?" Java 7: 1 (not the same guy as previous conferences - I asked) 8: 10% 11: 20% 17: 20% 18: 0 What about the other half? 🤷 But 40%-80% beyond 8 is very nice!

Learned a ton about Java these last two days at #JBCNConf? Top it off now in room 111 and let me tell you about #JavaNext: How projects Amber and Valhalla, Panama and Loom are about to change Java forever.

Interesting detail on primitive types: "As a matter of style, we suggest avoiding the legacy wrapper class names in new code, preferring the .ref types instead." I.e. `int.ref` instead of `Integer` just like we'd do with custom primitives, e.g. `Point.ref`. #JavaNext

On holiday on Crete right now, right there at the beach! 🏝️ But it wouldn't be a real journey without a visit to the local Java community, so I'll be talking at @devstaff_gr about #JavaNext in a few hours! Meet you there?

How Java's upcoming string literals may manage indentation: #JavaNext

In 30 minutes, I'll be on stage at #JavaZone to update a code base to Java after eleven. (Or will I? 🎃) Slides: Code base: If you have any questions, ask here or use #JavaNext.
