InfoQ Java Trends Report 2023 - Discussing Insights With Mike Redlich
InfoQ, Tuesday, November 28,2023
In this episode, Michael Redlich, lead editor of the Java topic at InfoQ, sat down with podcast co-host Daniel Bryant and discussed the recent publication of the InfoQ Java Trends Report. Topics covered included the release of Java 21, the adoption of Java virtual threads, the evolution of the Jakarta EE and Spring projects, and the development of community and ecosystems projects.
The adoption of Java Virtual Threads within application frameworks has occurred relatively quickly, especially given this feature was only included in the recently released Java 21.
Oracle and the surrounding Java ecosystem have attempted to evolve the language and frameworks to enable developers to more easily learn to write their first 'Hello, world!' applications and quickly become proficient with the language.
The ZGC garbage collector has recently seen significant improvements, and as Suhail Patel mentioned in his QCon New York keynote, this can provide big benefits for certain use cases.
