Java Next - From Amber to Loom, from Panama to Valhalla

Java's four big projects are entering the home stretch: Amber and Panama have already incubated, previewed, and even finalized some features, Loom and Valhalla are on track to follow soon. Time to take a closer look at how...

• Project Amber makes the language more expressive and ready for today's and tomorrow's problems
• Project Panama cuts through the isthmus separating Java from native code
• Project Loom enables hassle-free and efficient structured concurrency
• Project Valhalla mends the rift in Java's type system and improves performance

After this talk, you will know what to expect from Java in the next few years.
