WHAT ARE THE UPCOMING FEATURES OF JAVA 20?

Java 19, released in September 2022 came up with a number of new upgrades in performance, stability, and security.

[{"selector":"#anim-65e98f4d-8654-4df0-8e41-a0d853c25d82 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-af854232-96d3-4aa0-b9a9-395ea6add985","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.48184%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cfcab944-4a01-4a75-85a5-c9f115405b01","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-463ee5cd-6050-4c0d-bb68-59be80af0597","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

However, developers aren't that satisfied with it and want more improvements in Java 20.

[{"selector":"#anim-261be8f4-16b2-4cd7-9cab-dee7851c1989 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Java 20 will be released in March 2023.

[{"selector":"#anim-e3ece2e5-812a-434c-8475-2e7577156e45 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(14.839606445457761%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a366cd75-b03c-498f-85de-cd6d8c8530c3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-820f5939-d3aa-4c77-a9ec-b8b2cd92c201","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -316.22065%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But what improvements do developers want in Java 20?

[{"selector":"#anim-22ee4e46-815d-4abc-a299-f4a9414a25ef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(59.31606039368261%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-56737e92-a2af-4275-978f-1eefd9afb8aa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.46201%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1cb4eacf-8e29-48fe-b995-c8a32c92928f","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

"Developers would like to see improvements such as better tooling support or simplifying common tasks."

[{"selector":"#anim-daf63b7d-bb36-47ed-9b1a-f6aeeabbfefd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-529fdd1b-cc61-4b18-b228-d15625bc951e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b174e42-6fa4-44a1-8bf4-d3092111031b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -219.18129%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Developers are also looking forward to advancements in profiling, concurrency, and universal generics.

[{"selector":"#anim-e08c546c-eaf8-4406-bb3d-fc9b17a9b599 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Java 19 had Structured Concurrency as its essential feature but in Java 20 it is unsure whether it will include upgrade in the concurrent programming or not.

[{"selector":"#anim-7ff05632-7deb-4651-81c5-6c5cf8f01922 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.90624987200394%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Now it is time to wait and see whether the expectations of the developers will be fulfilled or not.

[{"selector":"#anim-500c1025-077e-4428-bdb2-f61a78f6b49d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
