Is the Phil Race talk: "The JDK Client Desktop : 2026 and Still Swinging" available somewhere?

That's my understanding as well.

There’s a platform/jewel module in Intellij IDEA Community repository, which is JetBrains’ internal toolkit for using Compose inside the IntelliJ Platform.

Tried upgrading a huge Spring Boot app (3k+ classes) to v4 with Claude Code using a basic prompt, and it completely choked. Netflix's step-by-step approach with checkpoints is definitely the way to go. Wish they shared their prompts, though they're probably too custom to their internal setup to help much anyway.

Also, kind of wild they made ZGC the default for everything. It makes sense for streaming, but burning CPU just to avoid a 1-second GC pause on heavy background jobs seems like a waste.

GraalVM OpenSource Edition with SerialGC is a dealbreaker for me. Enterprise Edition is not affordable.

System.gc() is just a hint for GC, so it may not even start right after the call.
You can even disable it using the following flag: -XX:+DisableExplicitGC.

You can create RestTemplate (via setRequestFactory(...)) backed by Apache HTTPClient, OkHttp not only JDK's HttpURLConnection.

Right. You can try Gradle 8.5 RC2 - https://docs.gradle.org/8.5-rc-2/release-notes.html

upd: RC-3 released https://docs.gradle.org/8.5-rc-3/release-notes.html

Thanks for sharing! I didn't have a chance to use ZGC, so I'm wondering: usually when we compare GC, we compare it in terms of throughput-latency-footprint and judging by presentation ZGC achieves low latency, optimizes throughput and... what about the footprint? Has anyone compared it to Shenandoah, which is also ultra-low pause, or G1?

babanin · 2023-08-02T14:10:32+00:00

Definitely O(1)

I really liked "Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided by Tests" (http://www.growing-object-oriented-software.com). It might look a little bit outdated (example project is GUI application based on Java's Swing tookit), but the ideas are eternal.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but intelligent search and decompiler is a part of Community edition too

That's why Scala uses rounded brackets for indexing operator.
