JEP-400: UTF-8 by Default (18)

Wow, I always thought Java had been UTF-8 by default since v6 or something.

JEP-441: Pattern matching for switch (21)

Python got it too!

JEP-440: Record patterns (21)

Is this the easy replacement of "beans"?

JEP-409: Sealed Classes (17)

Huh? Haven't classes had final forever?

Anti Commercial-AI license

[-] Kport@feddit.de 6 points 1 week ago

final prevents a class from being extended completely, while a sealed class is only extensible by a select few subclasses, which are explicitly defined in a permits clause in the sealed superclass

[-] Traister101 1 points 1 week ago

Permits is only required when the compiler can't see the extending classes. IE inner classes can extend without needing to be written out in a permits clause. This isn't really that useful but I've taken advantage of it more than once so who knows

There seems like there is a copy and paste error where JEP-458 begins and then goes back to the content of JEP-408. (In case OP is the author/editor.)
