Asked one of my sons (11yo) what he’d do if he won $4m. Him: Well first of all I would invest half in the stock market by buying shares in a number of different companies that I believe in so it isn’t as risky. Me: 😲

JDK 26 has been branched from the main line and is now in Rampdown Phase One: mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jd... openjdk.org/projects/jdk/26/ #JDK26 #OpenJDK #Java

I'm thrilled to announce that the next episode of the #JEPCafe on #Gatherers will be published tomorrow. And if you have the time, we can watch it and chat together on YouTube. Just like we used to do 30 years ago on IRC 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgQQ...

Hey #Java devs! At @devoxx.com, the Java Team at #Oracle is hosting an "Ask The Architects" panel. Post your questions here by Wed 23:00 UTC! Then check out the recording to hear the experts’ answers (as many as we can). 📝 Please read the questions others have suggested to prevent double-posting.

The kids wanted to go to a sci-fi convention and one of them wanted to cosplay as Chainsawman 😅 We built this together from cardboard, PVC-pipes, aluminium tape, and lots of hot glue 😆

Almost time for Devoxx BE! Putting the finishing touches on my presentation over the weekend, and I’m looking forward to meeting up with friends, colleagues, and talking to #java developers in person!

Joiners now support timeout in this new version. Sweet! 🙂

Amazing news 💥!!! JavaOne returns in March 2026 ❣️ Checkout all its details and save the date 🎉!!!

I’m really looking forward to speaking at JVMLS in early August this year, so it’s time for me to start preparing: openjdk.org/projects/mlv...

#Java 25 is frozen! 🧊 It finalizes 11 features in the language (e.g. simplified main), APIs (e.g. scoped values), and runtime (particularly AOT and JFR) and has 7 more in preview. Walk through the complete list in the latest Inside Java Newscast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5q7...

JEP 470: PEM Encodings of Cryptographic Objects (Preview) has been targeted to JDK 25 - openjdk.org/jeps/470 This is a Preview API, so we have time to make changes. Let us know if the API is easy to use and satisfies your use cases. #openjdk #crypto #security #java

After virtual threads, structured concurrency is the next big step for concurrency in #Java. All the more important to get it right! JEP 505 overhauls the proposed API in Java 25. Learn all about that in the latest Inside Java Newscast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLJD...

Come join me and my #Oracle peers at @devoxx.uk (May 7-9) to celebrate 30 years of #Java . The opening keynote highlights what's kept it vibrant after 3 decades. And, make sure to pick up a limited edition Java 30th t-shirt from our booth. Register now, there's still time! devoxx.co.uk

We integrated #java 's new Stable Values feature just now! This will allow developers and library developers to benefit from the "secret" @Stable annotation that the internal JDK code has been using for years. This can bring significant performance improvements to your code! openjdk.org/jeps/502

My presentation on #Java Stream Gatherers at #JavaOne is now available: youtu.be/v_5SKpfkI2U?...

#java 24 is out and here is a summary of the performance improvements we made: inside.java/2025/03/19/p...

Only five days until #JavaOne! Don’t miss out on attending the conference that started it all! Network with #Java experts from #Oracle and the community. Register now: ‪javaone.com‬ I'll be there, and so will Dr Deprecator!

Getting ready for #JavaOne, I hope to catch up with a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time.

#java 's new Stable Values API (Preview) was just targeted for JDK 25! Don't miss my talk at #JavaOne about Stable Values: reg.rf.oracle.com/flow/oracle/...

I’ve taken Ghostty for a spin over the past days and I think I am starting to prefer it over iTerm2.

Today ended with me being nerd-sniped by @pminborg.bsky.social 😅

Nice video by @josepaumard.bsky.social on enhancing #Java #Streams with #Gatherers since #Jdk22

And JDK 25 is now underway! git.openjdk.org/jdk/commit/5... #OpenJDK

Hello, Bluesky!

If Stream Gatherers improve the solutions to your Advent of Code assignments please let me know 👍 #java #streams #AdventOfCode

November has been a good month for #Java #Security! JEPs Integrated: - 478: Key Derivation Function API (Preview) - 486: Permanently Disable the Security Manager - 496: Quantum-Resistant Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mech - 497: Quantum-Resistant Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Alg

There will be 24 JEPs in JDK 24. openjdk.org/projects/jdk... #OpenJDK #Java

During dinner, out of the blue, someone says: ”So, Viktor, I’ve been meaning to ask you about your position on the Riemann Hypothesis.” Me: 😬

#Java developers, Feel free to follow @javachampions.bsky.social to learn more about #JavaChampions info & activities…the account will become more active on #Bluesky 🦋 as more footing is secured. Thx for your patience. Also follow all program members with this starter pack: go.bsky.app/CfRBzuP

Hello World! #Java developers, this is the official #JavaChampions account on Bluesky. Look for more activity here.

#Java peers, The Java Community Pack 2 is now filled with the next set of 150 names. I'm now working on Pack 3...Please let me know who to include by replying or direct message. I'll keep creating additional packs as we re-grow the #JavaCommunity on #Bluesky 🦋

Isi t just me or is it a little bit easier to breathe here? ☺️

If you are part of the #Java community, raise your hand so I can follow you. My entire professional existence is to make build, grow and nurture the Java tech community.

Really seems like this place is picking up some steam after an arguably slow start. If this keeps going I think my use of X will approach zero in six months time.
