Java is older than many people using it, and it's amazing we are just now getting this String feature.
Yeah!
C#, Python, and JS had this for ages!
Not yet, they'll be iterating on it and is now removed.
I think java is now realizing that it will loose it's charm for new gen
Because java is trash and was developed by a kiddie diddler
@@adiveler C# is just a copy of Java, there is nothing special in it
The string template is amazing but having to begin with STR to make it work is just so Java
I think it's technically needed for backward compatibility, since without it if some string literal happens to contain \{something}, it would break when they upgrade the Java version.
+++ This whole feature literally screams JAVA lol
Do you know why they couldn’t just put an f in front of the string, like python, to indicate a formatted string to the compiler?
@@CodingWithJohn How is it needed for backward compatibility? "\{" is not allowed by the compiler afaik.
@@CodingWithJohn It is a design decision as well, from what I could understand from their latest talks about these new features the reason is to give developers the ability to create their custom template processors that can have additional logic, they gave the example of creating a custom SQL template processor that would have sanitizing included in the template processor logic itself so you could just call SQL."query with parameters" in the database layer and not to worry about sanitizing because that will be centralized in the template processor itself. You could use it to adhere to formatting standards for the queries and greatly reduce boilerplate code. There are more use cases for sure but I cant come up with any from the top of my head :D
Return of the GOAT
😂
I came from a JS background to a Java project and the lack of string templating drove me nuts. I started to use String.format which isn't that bad.
in java 17 and up you can do "Some random string with %s format".formatted("special"); which is more convenient imo
@@YouHaveTrouble thanks. I'll try it.
String templates sounds good but it needs a little work I feel. This is the same concept as string interpolation in C# and its a little more friendly, you just add a $ in front of a string and then use the same braces as with the preview here like: $"part1 {insert} part2". Its quick and easy to use. The "_" is also a thing called disposables I believe and it can be really useful. I am happy to see Java catching up a little and hopefully they work on asynchronous execution in the future.
The thing is that they decide to go with processors because programmers can create their custom ones, like custom HTML, YAML, JSON, SQL, ... processors that will sanitaze the variables
I think some frameworks like Hibernate will implement different SQL sanitizer processors, and Jackson will do JSON and YAML processors for example
Thank you for keeping us up to date.
For the third feature, I always used String.format because it's easier to read
“%s is even easier”.formatted(“This”);
Or just "my name is %s".formatted(myName)
Unfortunately, the string templates feature has been removed for now from std. Lib since they want iterate on the design at bit further before releasing it to the public. Just good to be aware of.
Dang, thought we will finally get rid of that pain in the ass of concatenation! 😂
It has always been experimental in v21 and v22. It was not removed, because it was never standard.
@@davidc_ac9377 true, but people might still think they can experiment with it on their own in jdk 23 and that will currently be impossible 😊
welcome back champion. thank for such a great tutorials.
Thanks for the update 🙏. Really appreciate it 👌👍
best java youtuber
Agreed
Thanks for the great intro to Java 22. Look forward to more !
Thank you its very clear explained
Please make more videos John
Amazing i am learning dsa using Java and love to work on it further as well.
Thanks a lot for the overview!
Hi Jon, your video was amazing.
Btw, is there any remote position in your company?
This video presentation was so cool am considering picking up java again.
Not to compare as I love Java too .. but the string template feature is something .Net has implemented a few years back and Unix operating system has it way way long back ..
I feel like Java is more moving towards like a scripting language like python or Java script and more of functional programming ofcourse
String template looks so niceee
Worthful content from you as always!
Awesome presentation!
Great content, as always
string templates was something I was wondering if Java had about 8 months ago when I started working on an android app using java. Glad it is finally a feature.
Hi John, Eagerly waiting for more videos especially on Spring Security 🙃
Hey john love your content please make more videos
Good tutorial there though I rather they ought to have used $ sign instead of \ for that String variable combination. A convention in number of languages. Besides, adding \ in xml with its cousin / already in abundance will bring more confusion.
Miss your tutorial John ❤❤
Great to have you back.
In lieu of chapter markers:
* 1:43 - Unnamed variables
* 7:03 - Compile and execute multi-file Java programs from command line
* 9:14 - String templating (preview only)
Awesome video thank you.
thanks for sharing!
Hey John, another great video, thank you! I was wondering if you know something about Java Serialization? It is a topic I would love to see in a video, because it is very useful, but it feels like magic to me. I would love to see a good explanation of it so I know how to use it properly!
Just a heads up, most do not recommend java serialization (Serializable and so on) as it has had so many extremely bad security vulnerabilities forever. The recommended solution is to serialize the objects to json or whatever format you prefer and use that. Many great extremely fast libraries for most if not all formats you could think of
If you could talk about structured concurrency and stream gatherer, that's really great.
I watched a lot of your videos and I benefited a lot from you in Java... I am from Algeria... Thank you and I hope we meet one day
Java is finally catching up on basics features it was missing. About time!
String template is lit!
Hay love your videos on youtube. Supper easy to understand.
string template is awesome, is similar to template stirng in javscript :D
They implemented my unreasonably favorite JavaScript feature, template literals, into Java. Finally!!!
String.format is pretty good, though.
Great video! every Java improvement Scala has it many yeas before 😮
Yes, they just are following that path after so many years. Poor java . However, Scala devolpers are taking now new languages, such as rust, Haskell.
Great video John. The new String concatenation is a game changer. The blank _ is a bit silly, but I welcome it, might be useful occasionally.
If you come from python, you know it's useful.
@alandoe6622, I'm planning to learn Python in the future so it's great to gain that extra knowledge.
That in string variable thing is a game changer for sure
Thanks John! :)
Keep uploading these awesome videos. I NEED IT.
It's nice that Java devs are able to use these now. I feel blessed that we've not had to put up with these (and have a lot more loveliness) in Kotlin for years now. Going back to Java definitely feels like a step backwards
Those features are amazing, but... the '_' underscore variable discarding was in C# since 7.0 and they should definitely add more like from there :) The syntax sugar in C# makes it much much much better to use, so when java introduces something like this it interests me again in making things in Java
He missed the points of it, though. First, it is used to silence any "unused variable" warning (if Java has such a thing). Second, it saves the programmer from the need to come up with different distinct names for multiple unreferenced variables in the same scope.
C# has the underscore. it's useful in a try catch when u don't want to do anything with the exception
Unnamed variable seem to be idea of matching a pattern. If it does not match any pattern, then you can use an underscore. Example in F#.
I'm impressed by your knowledge of Java versions! Since Java 9 there have been many new features. Would it be possible to create a concise overview of the key features introduced in Java 9 through 22? This would be a valuable resource for developers, and I believe your ability to explain complex topics makes you well-suited for this task.
Could you please create a video explaining double locks, volatile and synchronized keyword? It would be really helpful 🙏🏻
Unnamed variables I will use occasionally, but String templates are really nice.
I do sometimes use String.format() or printf() rather than concatenation, but they still feel kinda clunky in their syntax.
Looks like it's unfortunately being removed even as a preview feature in Java 23, but hopefully to return in an even better format in a future release.
John could you talk about Java Modules please, i appreciate your content
Using STR. String templates for Servlets. That's it. Thank you ORACLE gods. Writing Html in Java Servlet file has now became more easier
😂😂
Looking forward to using this once we upgrade from Java 8 in 23 years
00:01 Java 22 introduces new features for developers
01:46 Java 22 introduces unnamed variables
03:25 Using unnamed variables in Java
05:00 Java 22 introduces unnamed variables for unused exceptions and Lambda functions.
06:46 Java 22 makes running multiple file Java programs from the command line easier.
08:20 Java 22 brings multitfile program running and string templating as key features.
10:05 Java 22 allows string templating for cleaner concatenation
11:51 String templates simplify multi-line string manipulation
Welcome Back John! ❤
Can you make a video about : How quickly adapt to new Java features from java 8 to 11/17/21/22. (what new features we can use over legacy features.)
Please make a video on how to load all the project classes during runtime.
Wait, you create these awesome videos AND play TBOI? Now I appreciate you even more!
how did you get that vanity url for the video ?
Anyone know what setting enables this type of auto completion 2:03
11:49 what about the existing feature "my name is %s".formatted(name);
no STR and very confusing looking (especially inside HTML) "\" needed ...
Java is becoming javascript but with types. I love it.
Could you please explain different types of design patterns used in java as well? and when to use which one?
The _ and string interpolation (f strings) are in Python too.
Yay, you’re back!
Wow - actually useful new features!
I saw one issue in StringBuilder today. I had to build string inside a while loop. Inside that loop i was creating a StringBuilder instance and creating the string. Later i wanted to make the StringBuilder outside the loop. But i was appending something in the string builder inside the loop. After appending and generating string i had to clean up the string builder for next iteration. I could not clean the string builder. I tried setLength(0), delete method. But the bytes inside value array still exists.
I'm pretty sure they wanted to find the most uncomfortable syntax possible to do string templating. Maybe they checked how the popular languages doing that and wanted to create something that worse.
If it wasn’t due to the possibility to create any custom string processor you want, I would agree. But Oracle looked at other languages and included an awesome feature. For instance, you can create a JSON string processor or a SQL processor that avoids SQL injection. It’s just amazing and sometimes a simple lambda.
Please increase the frequency of you appearing with new video, we really wait eagerly.
Hi John, will you start to teach us about Spring Boot material someday?
String templating is awesome. I was hoping for something like this for a long time. Though I wonder why they didn't go with backticks like JS with its string interpolation. STR is less appealing to my eye
While PHP moves towards Java, Java implements features PHP has been having since long time ago. I find it funny yet interesting!
wow java finally coming out with basic features that have existed in other langiuages for years. i might actuially enjoy java in 5 years.
Hello John, can you cover RegEx in java
The first feature is the same or similar as python, so i think knowing how underscore works in java would help for understanding how it works un java. The string template also seems similar as the fstrings in python,
Wow: all that convenience, almost like Perl!
Please make a video about radix sort🙏🙏
I didn't know about triple quote making it multiline string. I just tried and it worked in the java version I currently use.
Unrealted: Why doesn't my intellij(community edition) suggest whole lines like yours does?
like when you typed Cat myCat it showed "= new MyCat(); tab to continue"
Please do a vid about Structured Concurrency
Great video, but I'd make sure to caution against using template strings for HTML! If you're processing user input, you should always sanitize the values before putting them in your HTML, preferably using a trusted library.
what's the reason for using String.format() now that string template exists?
Grats on the sponsor!
youre back!
The quick fix called it "STR Processor". Are there other processors? What can we do with them?
Maybe you might want to use unnamed references for constructor functions? Idk if this has any use.
Wow I love this 😅
Java seriously need to work on its syntax make it someting like Kotline. And remove those legacy stuff and old stuff. We really need a java version with breaking changes and whole rework.
Cool, just like in dart!
most unecessary feature : unnamed variables, most useful and cool feature : String template
The string template option is already existed in 21 preview
hey John! i know this might be a strange request but i was wondering, could you please do a tutorial on RMI java server and RMI java client? i know, it's an outdated function but i went throw many tutorial and forum to find good explained code, but none of them was accurate, expetially when your code create thousand of error even in the compiling phase. if you decide to do it, could you please also cover all the commn errors and mistakes that could generate? thank you.
unnamed variables as well as multi file compiling + executing (although I've never needed something like that and never will) i like a lot. but I don't like string templating with STR. at the beginning of the strings maybe I would like it if you can leave out the STR.
It still better than:
"My name is " + name + "and my age is " + age;
And than:
"My name is %s and my age is %d", name, age;
Also, other languages do something similar too, in C# you need to put $ before the quotes, and in Python, f.
I assume the reasoning behind needing STR is backwards compatibility. If some existing string happens to use \{} in the string literal it would break with this change.
It took Java 22 major versions to implement Python3.6 f-string style format. Wow, that's so cool 😏
Not to kill the hype but the string template is on second preview and it is now unplanned for jdk 23.
I'm really really happy that you are not done with UA-cam! Keep going John.❤
Your videos are the best! They are the only videos that help me fully understand object oriented programming! Please make more of the videos with those simple examples! Age: 14 😃😃😃
Please can you do us the favour of doing a tutorial on random access file. Thank you
FINNELY STR IS HERE NICE
