Java in 2024 - Constant Change, Delivered | Keynote

Six years ago we accelerated the pace of new releases in order to keep Java vibrant in an ever-changing world of competing platforms and new styles of application deployment. That worked out better than most anyone hoped or expected, enabling a rate of innovation and delivery not seen since the early days of the platform. We’ll take a look back at features delivered recently, and a brief look ahead at what’s coming next.

Please give java a better tooling, modern lenguages need to have stuff like a package manager and a formatter by default and not given by third partys like maven, also i will love to remove checked exceptions and have connection pooling within the jdbc, thanks

[@sjzara]

Please don’t remove checked exceptions. They are a vital part of security and reliability. Java has always been a platform for choice. There should not be a definitive package manager for Java.

@@sjzara i get the benefit, but they do not play nice with lambdas and mostly are just rethrown as runtime exceptions

[@sjzara]

@@eddymoreno5624 I know they can be awkward with lambdas, but they work fine if the lambdas are written to accept them, especially using generics. They are mostly rethrown as runtime exceptions, but when they aren't, they can be vital to understanding and handling important errors, such as to do with security. They guarantee that something has to be deliberately handled with rare but significant situations, such as certificate failures or data errors, so, even with the clumsy integration with generics, they really have to be kept!

NPM and Yarn are such a mess, I don't want to see anything like that in Java.
