The first part of OpenJDK’s Project Valhalla, JEP 401 (Value Objects), has been integrated into JDK 28 as a preview feature and is now available in the early-access builds. More information: openjdk.org/projects/val... #JDK28 #OpenJDK #Java

Lake Bogoria in Kenya‘s great rift Valley is a spectacular place to view flocks of up to 1.8 and 2 million lesser and greater flamingoes. The lakes high alkaline waters, foster massive blooms of blue green algae called spirulina which serves as a primary food source for these birds

Beautiful and concise. @briangoetz.bsky.social thanks you so much for the Class-File API. It's been quite helpful for this library development. github.com/mamba-studio...

Yeah. I already saw it... Thanks for this, Joe, and keep up the good work!

Hello @pminborg.bsky.social. As promised, find the following repository for record to native off heap memory mapping for java 25 and greater. I removed the query, as it resulted to a bit of complexity in code and performance degradation. github.com/mamba-studio...

SHOCKER! For a simple piece of code like "Array.new(10_000_000) {Object.new}", JRuby 10.1 with JDK 26 and compact object headers uses LESS REAL MEMORY than CRuby 4.0. That's just crazy. Real parallel scaling AND lower memory use?!

Did some more evaluation of GitHub Copilot CLI today and built a nice launcher app for my #GemsFX open source project. The productivity I get out of this surpassed all my expectations. #javafx #java #ui #ux @brunoborges.bsky.social

Many people still judge Java by its 2000-era type system. Historically Java prioritised practical affordances over clean formalism, which caused inconsistencies. Amber and Valhalla are tightening that model, and the type system may look very different in a few years, even better than some languages.

This was unfair. What’s actually remarkable about Java is that all of its basic affordances are well chosen, and then implemented with completely wrong formalisms. This makes it the perfect inverse of Haskell, which has immaculate formalisms for god awful affordances.

😆😂

@pminborg.bsky.social something cooking on a library! CPU cache makes this run in I think less than a second. No concrete benchmarks yet. Code/Library coming soon.

If you’re involved in peer review, editorial work, or academic integrity, feel free to try CERCA and share it within your network. It's open source & community-driven . The source code is available on GitHub: github.com/lidianycs/ce... Contributions and feedback are very welcome!

This weekend, I've added a new feature on CERCA: Manual Reference Entry. If it cannot read your PDF, you can now paste the reference list directly and proceed with the analysis. It's available for download on SourceForge now. sourceforge.net/projects/cer...

Unfortunately, this is no longer an isolated issue. Last week, reports indicated that NeurIPS, one of the world’s leading AI conferences, accepted papers containing 100+ AI-hallucinated citations. This problem is growing rapidly as generative tools become widespread in academic writing.

I developed CERCA, an open-source tool designed to help reviewers and researchers identify hallucinated or inconsistent references in academic manuscripts. I started this small project after discovering a hallucinated reference citing my own work.

Upcoming features in Java. Pattern Assignment performs unconditional type + shape checks, binding state once, while Constant Patterns enable declarative value matching. Control flow becomes compiler-visible data flow. mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/am...
