💥Did you know that final is…not so final?
Checkout the first video from #JVMLS 2025 and find out what steps are being considered by #Java to address final’s limitations.
Java’s main tool for managing immutability is `final` fields. Unfortunately, using `final` fields comes with limitations which restrict their use in many real-world applications. In this talk we will look at some of the steps we're taking to address…
Many of the N talks at #JVMLS referenced Guy Steele’s 1998 talk "Growing a Language".
I had never seen it myself so I took the time this morning to watch it. If you, like myself, haven’t seen it, I really, really recommend you spend 60 minutes or so to watch it as well.
I mean, that is, if you are into programming languages.
Anyway, it is really neat to see the ideas (or maybe just the idea) in Steele’s talk directing the evolution of contemporary #Java.
