Java was once this slow-moving language, but not anymore. It seems to be unstoppable now. With incremental and frequent releases, Java is evolving not only at a fast pace but in a valuable and pragmatic manner. In this presentation, Venkat will quickly take a look at the current state of Java, dive into some of the most recent features that are in version 25, and discuss what’s ahead for this powerful language.
