J-Spring 2021: Nicolai Parlog – Why don’t they just…?! The Deliberations Behind Evolving Java
There are many nifty features that Java could have but doesn’t. Why, though, how hard can it be to implement them? Why don’t they just…
let us add fields to records?
add ?. for null-safe member selection?
add extension methods?
remove the need for semicolons?
introduce immutable collections?
make Stream handle exceptions?
turn Optional into a proper monad?
After this talk, you’ll know. And have gained insight into the deliberations behind the decisions that evolve Java and why nothing can “just” be implemented.
