Java 19 & 20. What's new and noteworthy??

Tags:

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? 😉

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:

  • Pattern Matching for switch,
  • Record Patterns,
  • Virtual Threads,
  • Calling native stuff,
  • what’s gone and what will be gone,
  • and other stuff.

If you find them interesting, let’s dive deep together into new interesting stuff.

So far I had the pleasure to give this talk at Devoxx France, Devoxx Poland, VoxxedDays Luxembourg, Szczecin JUG and Zielona Góra JUG.
