Evolving Java Project Amber
summary
Project Amber shows concrete language changes shipped in recent Java releases and next steps: local type inference arrives in Java 10 and lets developers use var not allowed on fields/parameters/returns; switch expressions (Java 12) and text blocks (Java 13) reduce boilerplate; records (Java 14) automatically generate constructors, accessors, equals/hashCode/toString and support compact constructors and annotations with propagation so you can write local static records; planned sealed types and pattern matching aim to give sealed types enable switch exhaustiveness and tighter API control.
