Mark Reinhold

By way of #introduction: I’m the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle. I’ve worked on every #Java / #JDK release since version 1.1, in 1997. You can blame me for character-stream readers/writers, reference objects, shutdown hooks, the NIO high-performance I/O APIs, service loaders, and modules. I currently lead the #Leyden and JDK Projects in the #OpenJDK Community, where I also serve on the Governing Board.

I’m also a Twitter refugee, now exploring the Fediverse via @ivory.

For the record, my final tweet (https://twitter.com/mreinhold/status/1618336980156428289):

Sayonara, Twitter.

Without notice you broke ⁦‪@tweetbot‬⁩, ⁦‪@twitterrific‬⁩, and other third-party clients after they spent years helping you build your ecosystem — with far better UIs than you could muster. Shame on you.

I’ll be over here: https://mastodon.social/@mreinhold

This isn’t just about my personal preference and convenience. It’s about doing right by developers.

@mreinhold I’ve been using Tweetbot since shortly after it launched. I just can’t believe how Twitter can be as popular as it has been with the first-party client experience. It’s just horrific, and Tweetbot just spoiled us. Losing it was the final straw.

@mreinhold @[email protected] You can't blame a #java Architect for standing firm against API breakage. 😉 j/k

@mreinhold @ivory Thank you for your efforts with #Java. I just downloaded the latest Java machine to run #Kurzfiler for my new #Kurzweil K2700. The Kurzfiler app is between 20-30 years old, still runs like a charm on Windows 11.

@mreinhold Happy to have you here and if you have a weird way of spelling "thank me", than I'm happy to blame you for the aforementioned things and fostering a career for me and many many other folks.
