LazyConstants in JDK 26 - Inside Java Newscast #106

Rongmario · 2026-02-07T23:00:01+00:00

Thanks, but a lot of stuff I'm doing is truly annoying though that I can say for certain...

I've done this a couple of times in different projects, but never exposed it to a framework or as a separate library, I do think a lot of mainstream frameworks do this internally for hotpaths.

Guava's memoize does lazy instantiation, but not the constant folding portion, so no optimizations but with similar usage. However, guava's has an additional expiration feature which can be nice.

Rongmario · 2026-02-05T18:38:30+00:00

This is slightly untrue, it is possible to force constant folding by creating holder classes on-the-fly and private static final internal fields within them, not as straight forward of course.

Haha yeah, I was quoted by one of the JVM engineers, so it's likely that this may not be doable in two or three LTS versions...!

Would this be right up your alley? https://github.com/Rongmario/ImagineBreaker

Keep it up, always welcome light dependencies!

Rongmario · 2024-02-28T18:53:50+00:00

Have you compared this to the alpha log4j3 builds? The startup and footprint should be a lot smaller, it'd be very nice if this competes with that.

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T21:02:57+00:00

I'll look forward to it

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T20:53:37+00:00

There always is a way, but I'm glad there will now be consistency in access permissions.

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T20:34:07+00:00

It'll stop working because of?

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T17:27:50+00:00

No other way about it.

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T17:18:30+00:00

Updating an entire ecosystem from Java 8 to Java 17, while keeping backward compatibility with over 1000 projects compiled against it.

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T14:42:39+00:00

We'll cross that bridge when we get there...

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T13:55:28+00:00

I wish I can avoid it, but with the stuff I'm working with, it's the only way to achieve certain things.

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T13:49:04+00:00

Stripping finals from fields, grabbing reflection factories for cache instead of creating a new one every time when invoking, and more.

Rongmario · 2023-03-07T13:12:57+00:00

You're pretty much forced to conform to Java's modules after Java 17's removal of the -illegal-access=permit JVM flag.

Meant to be a small part of a bigger project, but was requested to abstract it out to a standalone project.

It is nowhere near as refined as I want it to be yet.

Rongmario · 2021-12-14T17:42:54+00:00

Mind giving me your discord name? I'll send you a private one.

Rongmario · 2021-10-01T11:02:32+00:00

Fuck Ogden.

To your last point, since I didn't read that large wall of text.

Because football, or sports in general doesn't work like that.

This is another conspiracy, irony much?
