summary

Java moves to a six-month cadence with optional LTS every three years, Oracle publishes weekly early-access builds for JDK 13 and prices support at about $25/month per server or $2.50/desktop. Language work includes local var type inference (var), preview switch expressions, records and pattern matching; Project Valhalla (inline/value types) promises big wins (matrix example shows ~12x speed and up to 1000x less allocation), Loom adds fibers/continuations, Panama modernizes native interop, Graal (a Java JIT) and low-pause GC target ~10ms on multi‑TB heaps.
