summary
Project Amber delivers concrete, incremental fixes: text blocks (Java 15) remove escaping and preserve incidental indentation; string templates (preview in Java 21) embed expressions and use template processors that can return parsed domain objects (e.g., Json or safe SQL) to avoid re-parsing and injection; records (Java 16) plus sealed types enable concise immutable data types, exhaustive switches and unnamed patterns so the compiler enforces coverage; var (Java 10), single-file execution (Java 11) and a relaxed main prototype lower the on‑ramp. A GitHub crawler using records, sealed pages and virtual threads (Loom) demonstrates the approach and works.
