6:45-8:15: Java 21 has arrived!
Beyond being a release with LTS offerings and a Java version many organizations will adopt over the coming months and years, Java 21 is an important release because of what it contains.
Java 21 contains a major update to ZGC, finishes up the initial story on pattern matching, and includes the long-awaited release of Virtual Threads as a general feature.
In this presentation, we will review the key changes and updates contained in Java 21 and the preceding release back to Java 17. Rather you have been following each Java release closely or only keeping up with the LTS releases, this is a presentation you don’t want to miss.
