#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!

Big string template revamp - processors are out! 😳 "Processors were envisioned as a means to abstract the transformation of templates to their final form. However, Java already has a well established means of abstracting behavior: methods." #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. 🧵

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

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

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.

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

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:

I had a great time yesterday at @virtualJUG talking about #JavaNext: recent and upcoming releases, OpenJDK vs Oracle JDK, licensing, going beyond #Java11 and current projects like Amber, Valhalla, and Loom. Slides: Video:

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

You're at #JavaZone and, for your last session, want to learn about #JavaNext? (Pattern matching, value types, fibers, but also release cadence and licensing) Great, come to room 7. My talk starts in a few minutes. 😀

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

Once we have value types, we could replace mutable iterators with immutable cursors and get rid of for-each loop's garbage. Interesting exploration by John Rose: #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.
