Let’s talk about Java 21 and have a sneak-peek into Java 22, and things like: Java was supposed “to be slow”. However, Java turns out to evolve so fast, that next releases aren’t just version bumps, but might significantly change the rules of the game. That’s a good reason to check out what’s new in Java. To name a few changes:

• Virtual Threads (and some traps),
• Pattern Matching and Record Patterns,
• Structured Concurrency,
• String Templates,
• Stream Gatherers,
• changes around main() method,
• what’s gone and what will be gone,
• and other things. If you find them interesting, let’s dive deep together into new interesting stuff!

This talk has been given for Silesia JUG only, no recording.

Hey, there are two major Java versions released every year! We don’t have to wait 3 years or so for new features anymore. Isn’t that cool? 😉

Another (half a) year has passed, another major Java™ version has been released. Java was supposed “to be slow”. However, Java turns out to evolve so fast, that next releases aren’t just version bumps, but might significantly change the rules of the game. That’s a good reason to check out what’s new in Java. We’re going to cover:

• Records, where and how to use them, apart from DTO/VO
• Pattern matching with instanceof A.K.A. Smart casting
• Sealed classes, new dimension of types extensibility (for inheritance)
• Warnings from Jigsaw (–illegal-access strikes back!)
• And Valhalla (for value-based classes abuse)
• Talking to native stuff from Panama
• and more.

All visualised in actual code, not just slides.
