Java's Cutting Edge Comeback (with Josh Long)

Java's has been evolving faster than any 30 year old language has a right to do, and there's probably no-one more pleased about it than my guest this week - Josh Long. He's a Java & Kotlin programming, a JVM enthusiast in general, and an advocate for Spring, and he has chapters full of news about what's been happening in Javaland over the past few years. Everything from new threading models to C interop changes, custom primitives to high performance computing and all the ways in which Java is modernising for age of AI workloads. If you're out of touch with the latest in the JVM, or don't know how much its changed, Josh's brain is full of all the news you need to catch up. – Project Valhalla (Value Objects): https://openjdk.org/projects/valhalla/ Project Panama (JVM's new native code support): https://openjdk.org/projects/panama/ Jextract: https://github.com/openjdk/jextract Spring Initializer: http://start.spring.io/ Support Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoices Support Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@developervoices/join Kris on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/krisajenkins.bsky.social Kris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkins Kris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/
