What Happened to Java's String Templates? Inside Java Newscast #71#video#project‑amber
JDK 23 doesn't contain the string template preview that was present in JDKs 21 and 22. Let's discuss why the feature was removed (probably not for the reasons you think), what a new proposal could look like, and when we may see it.

Whether for validation, preparation, or splitting and sharing arguments, it can be quite annoying that Java doesn't allow statements before the super(...) or this(...) call in a constructor. Luckily Java 22 is about to change that with JEP 447, which previews statements before the explicit constructor invocation.

Data-Oriented Programming - Version 1.1#talk#pattern‑matching #sealed #project‑amber
Data-oriented programming models data as data: records for entities and sealed types for alternatives. Combined with pattern matching we can define operations on the data without overloading it with functionality.

Java 19 - The Best Java Release? - Inside Java Newscast #27#video#java‑19 #project‑amber #project‑loom #project‑panama
Java 19 is the first release to preview Project Loom's virtual threads and structured concurrency, Project Amber's record patterns, and Project Panama's foreign memory and function APIs. It also continues previews of pattern matching in switch and vector API. Put together, this makes it the most groundbreaking Java release in years and probably for years to come!

Deconstructing Records in Pattern Matching - Inside Java Newscast #26#video#project‑amber #pattern‑matching
How record patterns use records' transparency to safely deconstruct them in pattern matching, allowing us to separate checking structure and value of data from processing it.

when And null In Pattern Matching - Inside Java Newscast #24#video#project‑amber #pattern‑matching
JEP 427 proposes two changes to pattern matching in switch: 1. Guarded patterns, which belonged to patterns, are replaced with when clauses, which belong to the case. 2. null needs to be handled by a specific case null.
