And then there's the 10th (!) incubation of the vector API, but we don't talk about that here. 🤫

#Java 25 is shaping up to be another BIG release! 🚀 Currently targeted final features:

* simplified main
* flexible constructors
* module imports
* scoped values API
* key derivation function API
* compact object headers

But wait, there's more - proposed to target final features:

* AOT method profiling
* AOT CLI ergonomics
* JFR method timing & tracing
* JFR cooperative sampling
* generational Shenandoah

But wait, there's more still: 4 preview features, 1 removal. 🤯

Just got caught up in the latest round of terminations from Microsoft.

If anyone needs a "batteries included" advocate who really knows code, AI, and real production concerns + solutions, ping me! Ready to make great things happen for you.

Onward and upward!

Java stream's terminal operations `findFirst` and `findAny` are neat but one use cases isn't covered: "find the only one" - a terminal operation you'd use after a filter that's supposed to let exaxctly one element pass through.

There's now a JDK preview with that operation, named `highlander`. ⚔️
