Hi everybody, I've started a Mastodon account: @stuartmarks@mastodon.social
I'm not going to bail out of here just yet, but the trend seems to be heading downward.

This discussion was a MUST-listen for any new @java developers but an absolutely-at-all-costs-must-listen for old hat Java developers. @stuartmarks has forgotten more about Java than most of us will ever know and he shares little behind the scenes looks and tidbits for TWO hours nonstop!

Finalization is eventually being deprecated. Find out where you’re affected from @java 21 onward by using the

Thanks to @EricIdle for today's most insistent earworm

Haven't been to a lot of session at @Devoxx Belgium while being onsite, and I had to leave early, but I keep watching the Youtube playlist.
Anyhow, one session, so far, completely stands out for me, "Moving Java Forward Together" by @Sharat_Chander 🙌

I wrote a blog focusing on two new features in Java 21 - pattern matching for switch and record patterns! Also a bit of a sneak peek of the talk I'm giving alongside @aqsa_ma at #GHC 💗 emilie-robichaud.medium.com/…

Happy to say that @stuartmarks and I will be presenting a Deep Dive talk at @Devoxx Belgium: "Beneath the Planet of the Collections" (devoxx.be/talk/?id=48553). Look forward to some pure collections wisdom! (and I'll also be speaking).

I've been saving this one for a special occasion. So is becoming a Java Champion special enough? 🤔
You bet! 😁🍺
