#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

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.

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!

Next topic: Structured Concurrency Never heard of it, can't wait to learn more. Not today, though, we'll arrive shortly. (Lol, I covered ten minutes.) Alan recommends a few blog posts: by Nathaniel Smith by Martin Sustrik 8/?

In the hour or so that I have, let's see how much we can learn from the #JVMLS2019 talk on Project Loom about structured concurrency. Here's the core idea: "Every time that control splits into multiple concurrent paths, we want to make sure, they join up again." #JavaNext 9/?

Looking forward to talking about #JavaNext at #DevoxxUK in 2h, but also sad that I won't get to see @heathriel's talk: How to Close the Diversity Gap (or, How Not to Perpetuate Bro Culture in Tech) I don't have a choice, but you do - choose wisely! 😉

#GeekOutEE just published videos of all talks. Kudos! If you have an hour to learn about how Java is evolved and which great things are coming, check out my talk #JavaNext: video: slides:

In a short interview with @InfoQ, @BrianGoetz comments on the proposal to allow hyphenated keywords in Java (e.g. `non-null` or `value-class`): The answer to `break-with` vs `yield` is interesting, too. #JavaNext

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)

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.

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:

Does this compile? int x = 0; x + 1; With immutable value types, should this compile? Point p = (0/0) p.up() // returns (0/1) If value types "code like a class, work like an int", it shouldn't. #JavaNext

#JavaNEXT Jun03 at @CLubNebuLa THE SEXY CIRCUS by @Soulrave_ENT w/ @OfficialMadbros @djwizznu

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?

#JavaNEXT nov28 at EcoParkConv @HINofficial GRAND FINALE w/ @lengyein @devina1945mf @nilampuspita @jennycortezz |

#JavaNEXT jan23 at @BLOWF1SH RAVE REPUBLIC FOR FUZED w/ @raverepublic

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!

Slides for today's #GeekOutEE talk "#JavaNext - New Releases, Valhalla, Amber, and More Goodies": By the way, Tallin's Creative Hub is an awesome venue, very steampunky. Some impressions...
