Java Next - From Valhalla to Leyden, from Babylon to Panama, from Amber to Detroit
This talk explores Java’s evolution and future through major projects: Valhalla’s unified type system, Leyden’s faster startup, Babylon’s foreign models and hardware support, Panama’s native interoperability, Amber’s expressive language features, Loom’s structured concurrency, and Detroit’s Python/JavaScript integration. Attendees will gain a roadmap of Java’s coming years.

Java's big projects are shaping its present and future. Over recent years, Amber and Leyden, Panama and Loom have greatly improved the
language, APIs, and runtime. But they're not done yet! And neither are Valhalla and Babylon - in fact they're just getting started.

After this talk, you will know what to expect from Java in the next few years and surely there's no better way to end a great Devoxx!
language, APIs, and runtime. But they're not done yet! And neither are Valhalla and Babylon - in fact they're just getting started.
Time to take a closer look at how...
- Project Valhalla mends the rift in Java's type system
- Project Leyden improves Java's startup and warmup time
- Project Babylon extends the reach of Java to foreign programming models and hardware
- Project Panama cuts through the isthmus separating Java from native code
- Project Amber makes the language more expressive and ready for today's and tomorrow's problems
- Project Loom further improves efficient, structured concurrency
- Project Detroit allows simple interop with Python and JavaScript
After this talk, you will know what to expect from Java in the next few years and surely there's no better way to end a great Devoxx!
