Any highlights? I haven’t watched any yet but I’ve learned a lot from Venkat Subramaniam’s prior presentations

Wow that looks really nice. Going into it I was expecting it to be a crappy procedural language, but it looks like a really nice alternative to SQL

Your analysis looks right to me. If this were mine I’d initialize all three before submitting any.

Java 11 allows you to paste in JavaScript and it largely just works

Var is not Javascript. It’s not even type inference. It just reduces redundancy in the boilerplate.

The module changes are a PITA, but not increasingly difficult. There aren’t really other big backwards incompatible changes

The actual backend improvements keep being pushed

What changes are you referring to?

Can’t watch the video right now but it makes a ton of sense that java would be having a resurgence. Pre-java 8 it felt like the every day I ran into problems it would be easier to solve in other languages. I’m still mostly on 8 and it feels pretty modern still. I’m super excited to move to 17 and 21 for all the new features, though.

This is much less readable if non-trivial. It’s easy enough here, but now I need to search through the code to see where else foo was set.

Without it we might accidentally Lol or lOL. It would be anarchy

I don’t know how you would get more specific.

This country is insane. How does this protect anyone?

IMHO it should be used for parameters, as long as there is more than one optional parameter. If rather all non nullable parameters though, which is usually doable.

Lol. I get it now. Thanks

I think I was unclear. I agree that having replaceable batteries is exciting. Ben sarcastically called Apple coming up with a way to circumvent the law exciting. And I agreed, also sarcastically.

“Exciting”

Optional! I was reluctant at first because of the nullibility, but it’s so useful.

I’m not sure this is what you were going for. I think most people know about optional and are skeptical because it’s not a fix for nullability.

I use temurin, but you’re really okay with anything but oracle’s jdk. You want to do what you can to avoid an Oracle audit.

Thanks, that worked

I’m trying to use jerboa, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to subscribe to communities on other instances. Even if i have the url
