JEP 455, Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Preview), has been promoted from Candidate to Proposed to Target for JDK 23. This JEP, under the auspices of Project Amber, proposes to enhance pattern matching by allowing primitive type patterns in all pattern contexts, and extend instanceof and switch to work with all primitive types.
