Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Month in Spring! Can you believe we're already staring down April 2022? How're you doing? Spring is here for those in the northern hemisphere (including meee)! Astrologically and meteorologically, speaking, of course. I love this season. Longer days, greener grass, bluer skies, and more.
Next week, my family and I are headed to Hawaii for some much-needed R&R while my daughter has a week off. (It's hard to believe she might be going to college in another state in 18 months! We need all the family vacations we can get together! T_T)
Anyway, we've got a ton of cool stuff to look at so let's dive right into it!
- First thing: Java 18 was released today! There are a ton of new features, including UTF-8 by default, a simple HTTP server, a reimplementation of core reflection to use method handles, an SPI for internet resolution, a more manageable JavaDoc attribute to simplify the inclusion of code snippets in JavaDoc comments, and previews of a bunch of unique new features including pattern matching for switch, Project Panama, the new Vector API (as in matrix multiplication, not a collection, exactly). You can also use a switch to disable finalization and finalizers, which you might want to try now to see if your application continues to do the right thing.
