I stuck around for a long time, didn't want to give up the community we had here because of a billionaire douchebag but this is a bridge too far. Maybe, one day, he sells Twitter but until then: 🦋 https://t.co/g54cTxjrnt 🐘 https://t.co/qeWcFhDG1K 👋🏾&🙏🏾🍣 PS: Fuck you, Elon!

Valhalla, Leyden, Babylon, Loom, ... what will they be working on this year? https://t.co/mqiC9kwUqG

Java 24 Stops Pinning Virtual Threads (Almost) - Inside Java Newscast #80 https://t.co/n7ZmunCmVS @nipafx

📣 Big Speaker news! Join Nicolai Parlog @nipafx, Developer Relations at @Oracle, at #CodeEurope 2025 in Kraków! He’ll cover Java in the Programming Languages track. 🚀 📅 June 30 – July 1, 2025 🎟️ Grab your ticket now 👉 https://t.co/Rm2aruskWJ

Some random sources for 3): https://t.co/jW3cODpgff https://t.co/VSi0VzpfzW That said, there are claims that this doesn't have to happen and that there are processes to lessen or even prevent this effect. I guess we'll see.

In the good old days, it was greedy billionaires that drove the internet's enshittification - now AI is coming for their jobs: 1) train AI on public data 2) use AI to publish slop 3) use AI slop to train worse model Congrats, we automated enshittification. 😬👍

Am 15.01. sind wir mit der #Java User Group #Bonn bei @SAPLeanIX @nipafx stellt euch die Neuigkeiten von Java 23 und höher vor und beantwortet im Anschluss zusammen mit Christian Stein alle eure Fragen Wie immer kostenlos, aber um Anmeldung wird gebeten https://t.co/HKlrm0vvS5

2. Place the method calls that can trigger these errors in a `try`-block where `catch` prints/logs a message that either explains all this or links to the documentation. Thank you for your attention and have a happy new year! 🎆 (Everybody else, too. 😁)

Two bonus objectives: 1. Clearly communicate all this in your documentation, including the error message (so a search leads to the right place) and an explanation why the option is necessary (so users don't cargo-cult). E.g.

"But my project doesn't come as a module." Change that. 😜 Or at least set an automatic module name ( https://t.co/dKYLzwWLsh). "But nobody uses modules." While somewhat true, maybe this changes if users can see their benefits. E.g. *not* having to leave their door open.

This is the difference between asking users to hand you the keys to their house vs to leave their door open. I wouldn't be comfortable asking them the latter without at least mentioning that there's a better option.

📢 PSA for #Java FOSS maintainers: If your project requires a command line flag that gives access to operations that can undermine integrity ( https://t.co/jAWpILCpMT; e.g. `--add-opens` or `--enable-native-access`), don't only mention `ALL-UNNAMED` but also your module's name.

Java is evolving, and fast. ⚡ @GavinBierman and @nipafx discuss the big underlying currents that push the language forward.

Compact object headers, ahead-of-time class loading & linking, garbage collection improvements, and more - #Java24 is full of performance improvements: https://t.co/xWWoKgJEOC

Donald Raab on Duke's Corner talking all things Java, Eclipse Collections, contributing to FOSS, and participating in the Java community. And his new book, too! @TheDonRaab @java

#Java24's feature list contains 24 JDK Enhancement Proposals. 😱 In this Inside Java Newscast, @nipafx looks at the language and API changes—from pattern matching primitives to flexible constructor bodies and more!

#Java24 will enter ramp-down phase 1 later today and its feature set is set in stone. And its a lot! Here's the first half - language and API changes: https://t.co/imUG84XAG7

Tune in to the latest Inside #Java Newscast with @nipafx to see how "pinning" will be a thing of the past (almost) with #Java24.

Have you heard about "pinning"? That thing virtual threads do when encountering `synchronized`? Starting with #Java24, that will be a thing of the past. (Almost. More details in the latest Inside Java Newscast. 👇🏾) https://t.co/NC663jVdH8

Parts of Leyden and other CDS improvements are now in JDK mainline, in time for JDK 24 fork. The improvements are visible even on simple HelloWorld-style examples. There are even more things to squeeze!
