Java Language Evolution in 2025 - Inside Java Newscast #84#video#project‑amber
In 2025, the Java language keeps evolving. Here's how Project Amber plans to push Java forward: from flexible constructor bodies to simplified main, from module imports to primitive and deconstruction patterns, from withers to string templates.

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.

Java 22 Previews Statements Before super(...) and this(...) - Inside Java Newscast #62#video#java‑22 #project‑amber
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.

The Simplest Hello World - Inside Java Newscast #35#video#project‑amber #on‑ramp
Visibility, classes, methods, instance and static members, parameters - a newcomer to programming needs to learn all of these concepts to truly understand a simple hello-world program in Java. Time to make that simpler and cut down on what needs to be known up front.

Data-Oriented Programming - Version 1.1#talk#pattern‑matching #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.

All About JDK 18 - Inside Java Newscast #21#video#java‑18 #project‑amber #project‑panama #pattern‑matching #tools #reflection #documentation
Refinements in pattern matching and Panama's foreign and vector APIs; a new command jwebserver and a new IP address resolution SPI; preparing code for UTF-8 becoming the default character set and for the eventual removal of finalization; and a few more bits and pieces.

State of Pattern Matching with Brian Goetz#video#project‑amber #pattern‑matching #conversation
Conversation with Project Amber lead Brian Goetz about pattern matching in Java: Why Map::get should be a pattern, the linear thinking trap and how it impacts null handling in pattern matched, exhaustiveness in switch statements and the rehabilitation of switch.
