Rudeness is often just a mask for something else. Look behind the rudeness and you find frustration and a need to be heard. Emotion is a bit like a pendulum, one side is anger, the other is happiness,…

I follow the same arc. I grew up lugging network cables around to setup LAN parties for Warcraft and Command and Conquer. Then went to college and setup a Halflife server that our entire dorm got into…

Although there are lots of contributors to OpenJDK (which is where Java SE is built), Oracle continues to show up and do a large part of the work. This work is then used to build many distributions, i…

doh... no RSS feed yet, removed.

Thanks ya, fixing that up now. edit: fixed

Part of the vision of pattern matching is aggregation and destructuring [1]. This is just exploratory but may be what you're thinking about? [1] https://github.com/openjdk/am…

Thanks Suyash! External contributions, or at least a more formalized system for feedback, is in the planning stages already.

See my parallel comment on this philosophy. Also, it's likely we'll never see "really big stuff" in a single release as the 6-month cadence has made possible incremental changes to…

The teams working on the JDK think about their work in 6-month release cycles, not LTS cycles. What's ready to go in when the train leaves the station, goes in, what's not, waits another 6 m…

Thanks for the Dev.java mention. Our team is excited to launch the site. We focused on minimal design (similar to Inside.java) and heavy on content, mostly learning material to start. More to come soo…

and https://inside.java/tag/loom for lots of content from the Loom team.

and also many resources direct from the source (those that are working on Loom): https://inside.java/tag/loom …

That is true, the cost of mistakes for a platform used so broadly is high which is why folks working on the platform don't rush things that aren't ready or don't feel natural yet. That …

A big benefit of the 6-month release cadence (since Java 10) is that if your favorite feature gets pushed, the next release is just around the corner.

Java Developer Relations team here... feedback welcome!

Up until 10, releases were feature-driven, meaning, based around the delivery of something when it was done like Generics in 5, Lambdas in 8, modularity system in 9, etc. With 10 and on, Java is now a…

And by telling I think you mean that over time Java has very thoughtfully evolved in a way that respects backwards compatibility, or that once a feature is in the language it'll very likely stay …

Maybe you're looking for String::formatted? Directly from http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/378 : Another alternative involves the introduction of a new instance method, Strin…

Each of the projects (Loom, Panama, Valhalla, Amber, etc.) are in different stages and are intended to deliver features over time. Project Loom itself is not a single deliverable. As mentioned, you ca…

We hope not, and if it is, it's a misunderstanding. Java is freer and more open than it ever has been. There are many downstream builds under open source licenses, including one from Oracle at h…

Things are innovating faster than ever, but, the trick is always to address the challenges of both today and tomorrow, while staying true to compatibility and stability. Check out Brian's talk on…

Nice. We talk about this quite a bit. Start with https://inside.java and https://inside.java/podcast . There are lots of reasons for the continual stream of innovation but …
