The reason I like Brian so much is because I know he is incredibly good at systems architecture but he's also one of the best if not the best public speakers about Java, the JVM, and systems architecture in general.
The first 8 minutes or so are really worth listening to even if you already know all the Java 21 features: it's about how they managed to actually pull off the 6-month release cadence and all the initial resistance encountered both inside and outside the community and Oracle.
It was superb and summarizes most of what was presented at this year's Java Virtual Machine Language Summit. I am incredibly excited about the JVM ecosystem at this time and the next few months, and I am confident that Java 25 will be the moment when even more features will come together and really impress other languages and niches!
Great beginning of the talk by the way. Java has been so much better now that they've implemented the sort of Linux distribution model of releases having long-term support releases and releases in between and allowing preview features. I call it the Linux distribution model because it's the one that comes to mind but if anybody knows a better example let me know.
Before Java 9, there were 3-4 years between releases (even 5 between 6 and 7!), which is the equivalent of 6 to 8 releases now. Do you feel there was less between say Java 11 and Java 17 than between releases under the previous model?
A pleasure to listen to Brian's talks as always!!

amazing how well articulated this talk was
Amazing presentation and happy to see Java progress as well as the story behind it!
Its God,ly presentation 🍻 excited to see them in the production.
Nice overview. Thank you, Brian.
Great speech
Loom is great now bring back JAOTC!
Right!?
What's happening with Valhalla?
Java is the GOAT programming lang
Golang solos
GMAT
guess what it is … lol

Hello, does SSLSocket support not blocking the platform thread when using virtual threads?
Please add the timestamp bookmarks. Thanks.
11:00 and this is the best
6 months release cycle made feature delivery latency improved but throughput went down. I think, this is inline with how system tuning works.

Kotlin is much better.
Java is like baroque full of splendor.
Have you yet made it less verbose and actually practical? What no? Ok, i will come back in another 15 years😂
