Java Next - From Amber to Valhalla, from Loom to Leyden, from Babylon to Panama
The event is a joint effort between the San Francisco JUG and East Bay JUG. Currently we are still reaching out to hosts. If you want to host us on that day please reach out via this Google form.
On this evening, we are excited to hand the mic to Nicolai Parlog (a.k.a. nipafx) — a Java enthusiast and Developer Advocate at Oracle from Germany.
We're delighted to welcome another international guest and invite everyone to join us at a pub afterwards for continued discussion and networking!

ABSTRACTS
Java Next - From Amber to Valhalla, from Loom to Leyden, from Babylon to Panama
Java's six big projects are shaping its future and some of that is already here - just not evenly distributed. Loom has mostly delivered and is now tying up some loose ends, whereas Amber and Panama are still in the midst of finalizing their features. Valhalla is on track to preview soon but Babylon and Leyden are just starting out. Time to take a closer look at how...
Project Loom further improves efficient, structured concurrency
Project Amber makes the language more expressive and ready for today's and tomorrow's problems
Project Panama cuts through the isthmus separating Java from native code
Project Babylon extends the reach of Java to foreign programming models and hardware
Project Valhalla mends the rift in Java's type system and improves performance
Project Leyden improves Java's startup time, time to peak performance, and footprint
After this talk, you will know what to expect from Java in the next few years.
