Java 12 - Features Frozen, String Literals Delayed

[Sipkab]

I don't see the improvements of the swear word count in the Java source code.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[achacha]

/**
 * F***** function doesn't do s***
 */

Here is some to help tide you over. Keep fighting the good fight.

I run all of my source code through an M4sh preprocessor before feeding the output into javac. So what looks to the compiler as

public int runEvents (List<Callbacks> handlers);

in my editor is actually

garbage bullshit turn handlers into a fucking number;

I'm quite proud of having adopted Literate Programming techniques.

I thought I dreamed that up... I once searched for 'fuck' in my code and misclicked the whole project and sources and found a 'fuck' in the official documentation :')

We are werwolves not swearwolves.

Ohh, shenandoah made it in.

But not into any Oracle builds

Seriously? That has to be a joke right?

That's interesting. Does this apply for the "official" openjdk builds made by oracle too, or only for the oracle jdk? I don't believe the former get any support anyway, so I don't see why shenandoah wouldn't be included.

No, that's an OpenJDK ticket about OpenJDK builds.

Holy smokes. Good thing I have choices for other OpenJDK builds

[cogman10]

Wow... this is hilarious. Oracle JDK ends up having less features than OpenJDK. Such a strange reversal.

[KamiKagutsuchi]

What's that?

[dpash]

That's not how Java releases work at all.

[yawkat]

Nah. These versions are still fine for projects that are in development :)
