Hacker News Reader

I couldn’t read the article at all because it’s broken on mobile.

here's the Twitter thread option: https://twitter.com/nipafx/status/1636011526795427842

Same. Oddly reader mode didn’t work either.

First line from the article says it all:

> The list of big new features that can be used in production with Java 20 is rather short

So for anyone who came to comments first, there you go.

The rest of that intro then lists a bunch of massive changes ending in "Hm. Maybe it's worth taking a closer look after all."

I suppose I read the article strictly through the lens of an enterprise developer. The only thing that I can see that would apply to my day-to-day work is the named captures in regular expressions:

Everything else is just not applicable really or just meh.

I'd love to know what percentage of java shops are still stuck on Java 8.

I thought java stopped after version 8 (/s)
