Check out #FXMLKit. Another convention-over-configuration framework that removes boilerplate code for loading screens done in #FXML.
It is inspired by afterburner.fx but also supports JPro multi-user sessions and dependency injection for nested components.

Java will provide 3 types of nullness types: nullable, non-null and unspecified (currently offered). Freedom of choice is key.
I don't know a single Java programmer who doesn't want non-nullable types, so I'm a bit skeptical here, and I'd also point out that Go failed resoundingly at making programmers not want generics :)

First Look at Java Valhalla: Flattening and Memory Alignment of Value Objects. It was great looking at this. More to come on large scale projects. I think once they introduce controlled tearing, it's gonna be epic.

Latest java release (Java 25) actually tries to address this. You don't even need to compile the source.

The most evolutionary thing that might happen to Java: Witnesses. The ability to separate behaviour from the type. This could enable operator overloading, collection literals, type conversion, default value initialization, etc. Java is back.

Posting AI slope. People tend to think solar power is a holy grail to energy solution, which is far from it.
I love this creativity and technology. A solar powered train. I’d love to have that here in the United States. A great step forward for Australia.
