Java Reborn: Write Kindergarten-Code and get high-performance apps
28 years after its first release Java is reborn to adapt itself to a changed world. The evolution of Java is totally different than I imagined. Join me and discover how features like VirtualThreads allow us to write code like in Java 101 and get high-performance apps at the same time. Unlearn reactive programming and object-relational mapping to come back to the beautiful beginning of Java. Use standard data structures like List and Map to model your data. Find joy again in debugging and reading stacktraces. Get rid of the fear that you might block a Thread. You can use the techniques shown in this talk today, to improve developer productivity and make your project's code easy to write, understand, troubleshoot and maintain.
