JDK 16: What’s Next For Java? | Simon Ritter | EN

We’re now up to the eighth release of Java in less than four years! More new features are being delivered faster than ever before. In this session, we’ll explore what’s new in JDK 16. Some preview features like Records and Pattern Matching for instanceof have been made full features so we’ll discuss how to make the best use of these. We’ll also look at the new APIs like mapMulti for streams and the Vector API. More of Project Panama, a replacement for JNI, is being included in JDK 16 so we’ll look at the Foreign Memory and Foreign Linker APIs. By the end of the session, you’ll be completely up to date with modern Java.
