Ah, the thrilling world of #Erlang, where variables are forever stuck in a time loop ⏳ and pattern matching is apparently the new Sudoku puzzle for the terminally bored 🤯. For those who yearn for #excitement, nothing screams "edge-of-your-seat" like a #tutorial that thinks single assignment is a revelation worthy of 2013. 🚀

Dabbling in Erlang, part 2: A minimal introduction

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

#PatternMatching in #Java looks clean—until legacy switch rules get in the way. Subtle edge cases, null handling, and type quirks can turn elegance into bugs. @cayhorstmann breaks down what to watch out for.

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

If my understanding of big data is correct and not about #AISlop #LLM hoovering, then the data centres with need are ‘boutique’ for curated datasets dealing with very narrow applications in health, academic and commercial research, medecine, and biology, etc… Those we can accommodate and ‘federate’ when needed. The data mining tools, while computer intensive, don’t need them either. So, yeah… piss off and no, we’re not goiong to miss out on anything, especially when the #bubble bursts… soonish.

Mutable state is a silent security risk. #Java25 gives developers better tools to stop it — before runtime. Mihaela Gheorghe-Roman shows how records & sealed hierarchies make unsafe states impossible by construction.

C# 15 introduces union types — declare a closed set of case types with implicit conversions and exhaustive pattern matching. Try unions in preview today and see the broader exhaustiveness roadmap.

#Java developers have complained about boilerplate for decades. #Java25’s compact source files aim to change that — making simple programs truly simple. @bazlur_rahman explains what’s new. Curious if this improves your workflow?
