#96: JEP 485: The biggest update to the Stream API since Java 8

The Stream API was introduced to Java over a decade ago, but it hasn’t seen significant improvements since… until the advent of JEP 485: Stream Gatherers. This small revolution breathes new life into the Stream API. In this session, we’ll explore JEP 485 – the most substantial change to the Stream API in the past 10 years, set to arrive in Java in March 2025!

At #96 Talk4Devs:
✅ we’ll dive into the anatomy of the Stream API and Gatherers,
✅ we’ll explore built-in Gatherers and write some of our own,
✅ we’ll dissect the Collector and Gatherer APIs,
✅ we’ll examine ready-made Gatherer implementations from the standard library, including those that enable parallel stream processing on virtual threads,
✅ most importantly, we’ll extend the Stream API by creating several custom implementations.

We’ll be coding live – Grzegorz emphasizes – “My conscience doesn’t allow me to use slides!”
