Java has
been around for more than 20 years and has been declared dead many times but it
is still the world's most popular programming platform.
Their big
secret is compatibility, but evolving a platform in a way that doesn't break
people's code and "runs forever" takes longer.
Java has
evolved using this strategy preserving the investment in your code, your
experience and your knowledge and JDK 14 & 15 are no exception.
This talk
will focus on Java's latest features that adapt to rising developer
expectations and address the right-sizing language ceremony.
