Deep dives
Key Takeaways from the 2024 QCon London
The QCon London 2024 conference, scheduled for April 8th to 10th, will bring together senior practitioners to discuss emerging trends and best practices in software architectures, generative AI, platform engineering, observability, and secure software supply chain. The conference aims to provide valuable insights, techniques, and lessons learned to help attendees stay updated and avoid common pitfalls.
Highlights from the EnfoCue Java Trends Report
The EnfoCue Java Trends Report, created by a team of Java experts, showcases several key insights. First, the release of Java 21 introduced Java virtual threads (JEP 444) and a commitment from Oracle to simplify the language for beginners. Additionally, JDK 21 finalized features such as pattern matching for switch, record patterns, and virtual threads. Project Loom's companion, Project Galahad, aims to align GrowlVM with OpenJDK's releases. The report also covers a collaboration between the microprofile and Jakarta EE working groups, resulting in the development of a new micro profile JWT bridge specification.
Updates and Innovations in the Java Ecosystem
The Java ecosystem continues to evolve with new developments in frameworks such as Helidon, MicroNaut, and Quarkus. Helidon 4 introduces a rebuilt virtual thread web server for improved performance. MicroNaut offers an easy-to-use, Groovy-like syntax for building applications, while Quarkus focuses on speed and supersonic Java. In the Jakarta EE space, Jakarta EE 10 has been released, with Jakarta EE 11 scheduled for the first half of next year. The future looks promising for Java, with ongoing efforts to enhance security, improve performance, and make development more accessible for beginners.
