- Non-tech Music Banter
- A litany of languages and their passing, software archaeology and the issues of adopting new languages?
- JDK 21 to be released next month: JDK 21 Release Candidates & JVM Language Summit has a good overview.
- JEP 430: String Templates (Preview)
- Not a fan of the syntax, but also appreciate it's not just "string interpolation", it makes it very clear you're doing something different. I like that it's easily expandable and not too different from other languages that use r"Raw String here".
- NOTE: String Template Processing is runtime, not compile time, as Mark was thinking, as with being able to work well with Freemarker templates – which may work, but not as I implied.
- JEP 431: Sequenced Collections look like a nice improvement for consistency – annoying for library writers who may find it more useful, tho.
- Mark: 440: Record Patterns and 441: Pattern Matching for switch – having used these a bit now I love them, in places they fit – they work well for Algebraic Data Type style things, but should be used in moderation tho.
- JEP 443: Unnamed Patterns and Variables (Preview)
- It's a small win, but not having to name things "ignore" or "expected" etc.
- JEP 445: Unnamed Classes and Instance Main Methods (Preview)
- Initially didn't think I'd find much interest in this, but the more I experiment with Dagger.IO pipelines, and with the forthcoming Java SDK I can see this being enjoyable.
- JBang as an alternative
- JEP draft: Prepare to Restrict The Use of JNI - JDK 22 to start warning on JNI usage… The Reddit thread is well - as you expect :) JEP draft: Prepare to Restrict The Use of JNI (Updated): r/java
- Quick Fire Last Minute things:
- BONUS Material
- JEP 430: String Templates (Preview)
