Inside Java

Chad Arimura, David Delabassee

Inside Java is a podcast for Java Developers brought to you directly from the people that make Java at Oracle. We'll discuss the language, the JVM, OpenJDK, platform security, innovation projects like Loom and Panama, and everything in between.

  1. "Unboxing Java 26 for Developers" [IJN]

    "Unboxing Java 26 for Developers" [IJN]

    Java 26 is getting all packaged up to be shipped worldwide! As with every release of the JDK there are a number of new features, improvements, changes in behavior, and more developers should be aware of before upgrading. In this episode of the Inside Java Newscast we will review all the noteworthy changes coming in Java 26 that will impact developers.

    "Towards Better Checked Exceptions" [IJN]

    Java's checked exceptions are both an integral part of the language and one of its most contested features. Whether their introduction was a mistake and whether they should all be turned unchecked are frequently discussed topics but since the former is not overly relevant and the latter unlikely, this conversation isn't moving Java forward. Instead, let's talk about specific issues with checked exceptions and what could be done about them - from (entirely speculative) language changes to (marginally realistic) JDK/library evolution to stylistic changes.

    "LazyConstants in JDK 26" [IJN]

    Lazily initializing fields in Java is error-prone and undermines constant-folding. JDK 26 comes with JEP 526, which previews LazyConstant, a type that lazily initializes a value through a given Supplier. It executes that supplier at most once successfully and then assigns the value to a field annotated with @Stable, which allows constant folding. This API is also a poster child for how OpenJDK develops and evolves features.

    "HTTP/3 in Java" [ATA]

    HTTP/3 is the next version of the internet's most important application layer protocol. But, somewhat surprisingly, it uses UDP (via the new QUIC protocol) instead of TCP/IP, which has implications for the number of initial round trips, HTTP version selection, and time to first byte, but also adoption and evolution. Java 26 supports HTTP/3 out of the box. Nicolai Parlog talks to Daniel Fuchs and Daniel Jelinski, both Consulting Members of Technical Staff at Oracle and OpenJDK committers, about Java's HTTP client. They start by briefly retracing its introduction in Java 11 and its support for HTTP/2 before diving deeper into HTTP/3 to learn about the motivation, technical underpinnings like the QUIC protocol, and challenges for its adoption before discussing its integration into Java 26 Note: Sorry for the minor audio issues, thank you for your understanding.

  5. "Carrier Classes" [IJN]

    "Carrier Classes" [IJN]

    This episode presents Project Amber lead Brian Goetz's recent email "Data Oriented Programming, Beyond Records", wherein he describes plans to improve Java's data handling capabilities by introducing carrier classes, a generalization of records. Like them, carrier classes describe their state through a component list that defines the type's external API: accessors, a constructor, and matching deconstructor - this allows carrier classes to participate in pattern matching and reconstruction. Unlike records, the implementation of this API remains the developer's task although component fields offer a shortcut for the common case where the API does map to a field. Carrier classes don't have to be final (and can hence participate in inheritance) and neither do their fields (so they can be mutable data carriers). The email also mentions carrier interfaces, allowing records to be abstract as well as a relaxation of deconstruction patterns that make them more amenable to evolution of the matched type. This episode also briefly touches on Gavin Bierman's mail to the Project Amber mailing list that announces pattern assignments and constant patterns.

    "Java's Plans for 2026" [IJN]

    In 2026, Java keeps evolving: Project Valhalla is gunning for merging its value types preview in the second half of this year; Babylon wants to incubate code reflection; Loom will probably finalize the structured concurrency API; Leyden plans to ship AOT code compilation; and Amber hopes to present JEPs on constant patterns and pattern assignments. And those are just the most progressed features - more are in the pipeline and discussed in this episode of the Inside Java Newscast.

    The New Inside Java Podcast

    Welcome to the new Inside Java Podcast. In this meta episode, Nicolai Parlog introduces you to the podcast's new structure with two shows under one umbrella: The long-form conversations you know become Ask the Architects episodes and they'll be accompanied by the Inside Java Newscast as a podcast.

  8. "Scripting Java, Collections & Generics, BeJUG"

    28. JAN.

    "Scripting Java, Collections & Generics, BeJUG"

    In this special episode of the Inside Java Podcast, Nicolai Parlog talks to Adam Bien about scripting with Java, to Maurice Naftalin about the history and tradeoffs of the collections framework and erasure, and to Tom Cools about the innovative way the Belgian Java User Group organizes itself.
