2025/10/24

Java is a 30-year success story, made possible because its development consistently aligned with users’ needs. In its early days, the platform required new features quickly, but over time, minimizing code breakage while carefully evolving the platform became essential. Critical junctures along that path included the introduction of modules and the current strive toward integrity by default. Nicolai Parlog talks to Mark Reinhold, Chief Architect of the Java Platform, who brings nearly three decades

Java is not just adding features, it’s also removing old ones that became obsolete and are either a maintenance burden, performance drag, or hazardous to use. In this episode we touch on 32bit ports, applets, finalization, and the security manager. Nicolai Parlog talks to Stuart Marks, who works in the JDK Core Libraries group at Oracle. Right now, he’s dressed in a lab coat and wears a stethoscope because he embodies his alter ego Dr. Deprecator. Nicolai Parlog talks to Stuart Marks, who works in

“Integrity by Default” with Ron Pressler

Inside Java ·

2025/06/23

The Java runtime offers a host of guarantees like memory safety, type safety, encapsulation, and many more. What makes these aspirations actual guarantees is a property called “integrity”. But there are a few mechanisms in Java that allow undermining integrity - some for good, some for less good reasons. Integrity by default states that all such operations need to be disabled by default. Today we discuss why that is so important, what the progress toward this goal has been, and what Java developers

“Efficient Initialization Using Stable Values” with...

Inside Java ·

2025/06/09

The Stable Values API is a preview feature in Java 25 that allows developers to define immutable objects that are initialized at most once. It combines the flexibility of lazy initialization with the performance advantages of final fields. In this episode, Ana hosts Per Minborg, a member of the Java Core Library team at Oracle and co-author of JEP 502 on Stable Values. Per explains the concept behind Stable Values and how this approach addresses the drawbacks of eager initialization in Java. By

2025/05/16

OpenJDK's Project Leyden aims to improve the startup and warmup time of Java applications, for now by shifting computation from those phases to the applications' build time. Java 24 ships with ahead-of-time class loading and linking, which is the first step in that direction. In this episode, we learn about that as well as about Leyden's approach to reach its goals and some features that are available in its early access build plus some that aren't. Nicolai Parlog discusses with Dan Heidinga, who is
