#JavaNext

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. 🧵

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

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!

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

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.

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`

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:

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. 👇🏾🧵

Had a great time talking about #JavaNext at @VoxxedZurich! For the parts that I had to skip (gimme 60 minutes, please! 😉), check out the slides:

Sunday afternoon... Got some time to spare? Enjoy a ☕ in the 🌞 and read up on value-based classes: Good preparation for value types. #JavaNext

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.

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