Long if/else chains, repeated checks, unnecessary casts—classic #Java overhead. #Java25 adds #PatternMatching in switch, #RecordPatterns & guards, reducing boilerplate & improving type safety.

#CleanCode #JDK25 @openjdk

Still writing instanceof + casts + nested conditionals? That’s legacy #Java. With #Java25, pattern matching simplifies type checks, switch logic, and data extraction.

Your #Java app didn’t grow—your heap did. Wanderson Xesquevixos digs into #JDK25’s Compact Object Headers and shows how a simple flag can cut committed heap by ~30% in object-heavy workloads.

Concurrency used to mean trade-offs: simplicity vs scalability. With #VirtualThreads, #Java challenges that. Mihaela Gheorghe-Roman explores benchmarks, migration steps, & what #JDK25 adds to #ProjectLoom. Still afraid of blocking I/O?

Most memory problems aren’t leaks—they’re structural. Wanderson Xesquevixos breaks down how Compact Object Headers in #JDK25 shrink per-object overhead & why this finally matters in containers & #Microservices.

#JVM @openjdk

Got some time today to upgrade my application, bookLister, to using #Kotlin 2.3 and #JDK25 along with some general dependency upgrades. Does the app do anything yet? Nope (Just will give a status on its /healthcheck URI). It is up to date with the latest and greatest that's possible. You bet!

Java finally gets native superpowers.

Just published a new hands-on tutorial where we call ImageMagick directly from Java 25 using the Foreign Function & Memory API.
No JNI. No C glue. Just pure Java + Quarkus doing real image processing.

If you’ve wondered how Python calls fast C libraries… this is how Java does it now.

Как прошёл Java Rock Stars Meetup в сентябре (и чего ожидать в декабре)

25 сентября в Москве прошёл Java Rock Stars Meetup, в котором было всё: доклады, холивары о будущем Spring в России и много нетворкинга. Пока готовился обзор прошедшего митапа, мы уже успели организовать новый и заключительный в этом году Java Rock Stars Meetup, который пройдёт 2 декабря в Москве в привычном месте — лофте Casa Picassa. Регистрируйтесь на митап

Как прошёл Java Rock Stars Meetup в сентябре (и чего ожидать в декабре)

Привет, Хабр! Не прошло и трёх месяцев с митапа, как мы выпускаем обзор))) Да, задержали, да сильно, но лучше поздно, чем никогда, так ведь? Лирическое отступление закончили, теперь переходим к сути....
