Modern Java - Ask Me Anything
summary
Covers why JEP 468 delayed — record “with” was pushed back because deconstruction/reconstruction must fit object-level designs too — and why EC private key destroyability remains unanswered pending implementation details. Explains virtual threads shipped early despite pinning to platform threads and that the pinning issue is fixed in 2024, while structured concurrency is still in its fifth preview for JDK 25. Describes contribution rules (mailing lists, IP/licensing checks), low visible module uptake in the wild, and ongoing work toward reified generics (Valhalla).
