Java 9 demos real outcomes: IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1 generates module-info.java, compiles modules and fixes requires/exports quickly; migrating a Java 8 app reveals a few real breaks — underscore removed, Base64 moved to java.util.Base64, Gradle multimodule and Groovy/Spock need fixes — using build 161 avoids some demo glitches. New APIs shown working: takeWhile/dropWhile on streams, Map.ofEntries / List.of / Set.of for concise init, private interface methods, Process API PID access, Flow reactive interfaces, JShell REPL; G1 becomes default GC.
