#88: Java 21 not just for weavers

Just mention Java 21 and suddenly we automatically conjugate Project Loom and virtual threads by all cases. Meanwhile… Java 21 is a very good release not only for fans of threads and weaving!

This time we will focus on Java 21, the most important Java release since the version 9 revolution. Piotr Przybył will take us on a journey through the latest changes in Java 21:

• Not just for fans of threading and weaving – these innovations will make it easier to write programs (and scripts!) for both experienced programmers who program in other languages and those who are just starting their coding adventure.
• In this lecture, we’ll take a relaxed look at changes outside Loom, in particular string templates and all sorts of patterns (pattern matching).
• The speaker is a fan of pure Java, as well as lightness and agility, which should manifest itself primarily in the use of the right tools.
