Nicolai Parlog 🇺🇦🕊️ “We all agree that our favourite language deserves us taking whatever time is needed to perfect our design!” ❤️

'So, to be clear: there will be no string template feature, even with --enable-preview, in JDK 23.' 😳

The ongoing introduction of pattern matching to #Java has put more weight on some language features than on others. The latest Inside Java Newscast with Nicolai Parlog 🇺🇦🕊️ looks at how primitive patterns in Java 23 will fix this. social.ora.cl/6016wDtnn

In today's Inside Java Newscast, I go over all patterns in Java, including primitive patterns, which first preview in #Java23 - did you know we already have six?!

What Gunnar said, except south of Hamburg, it's already summer time. 😜 So 1700 UTC / 1900 CEST.

Today I decided: The German translation of 'fall-through' (as in 'switch statements allow fall-through') is 'Durchfall'.

If you're using the Java source launcher (like in `java Main​.java`) to experiment with preview features, you'll be glad to hear that, starting with #Java23 , you no longer need to set `--source`:

java --enable-preview Experiment​.java 🚀

Who would love to see @apiNote, @implSpec, and @implNote become official Javadoc tags? 🙋

The JDK already takes advantage of them. It would be great if framework and library maintainers could take advantage of them too!

Big string template revamp - processors are out! 😳

'Processors were envisioned as a means to abstract the transformation of templates to their final form. However, Java already has a well established means of abstracting behavior: methods.'
