DevNexus will be online this year – at the event, Azul’s Deputy CTO Simon Ritter will present ‘Why New Java is NOT the new COBOL’. In this session he’ll explore some of the new features that have been introduced in Java – at a faster pace than at any time in its 25-year history. He’ll review how best to use them (as well as advice on when not to use them). Features covered will include local variable type inference, switch expressions, text blocks, records, pattern matching for instanceof, and sealed classes and changes to records.
