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

It will only help the earliest of beginners. If java 1.1 included this i would understand, but at this point I don't see it

They all require the template processor to be specified, but I'm likely to convert hundreds or thousands of lines of existing string concatenation to templates in one of my projects and I really appreciate that the only { that show up will be the ones I create.

I've never heard one. Can you point me to an example?

Why single bevel?

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

Wat

I've noticed the same thing. "Undefined" should be a valid language but isn't in the list. I can comment/post via the web app if i set the language each time but I haven't been able to with jerboa.

I think complete extinction is pretty unlikely, I expect that small enclaves will continue to exist. And if there are still humans in 100 years there will still be humans in 10,000 years.

I can't say that I agree with your vision of an ideal society, but it sounds pretty good if you want to keep capitalism and capitalists

Your comment shows as3minutes old and the original post as 9. So that's consistent. @[email protected], did we pass?

What communities/instances are you dominating your /c/all? Asking because I was hoping for more leftist discussion and I'm not really seeing it outside of lemmygrad.

Edit: I'm mostly following programming.dev and lemmyrs.org, so I'm not really looking too hard. And I appreciate beehaw, but it feels more center left than left.

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.

139 down 60 and change to go.

Okay but would this work? It looks good to me, but idk.

That sounds like more than a 9 month job...

18.1 just came out Thursday, right? I don't know what the issues were with 18 but a lot of other servers were waiting for 18.1, too. It hasn't been actually been much time.
