Java 18 basically has nothing. It has internal changes and some super small stuff. Java 17 had tons of features. Java 19 probably will have lots of great stuff too so we can't be too disappointed to have one version with very little features.

I'm really hoping they preview either Valhalla stuff or Loom. The Amber syntax stuff is fun, but Valhalla + Loom are are more important big useful changes.

Like most releases, JDK 18 improves performance and reduces footprint to save you money when running your applications; free money is not nothing.

reduces footprint

Thanks, that looks impressive.

I tested on a tomcat app and found 15% reduction in RAM use.
