This report summarizes the InfoQ Java editorial team's current perspective on the adoption of technology and emerging trends within the Java space. We focus on Java, the language, as well as related languages such as Kotlin and Scala, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and Java-based frameworks and utilities. We discuss trends in core Java, including the adoption of new Java versions, as well as the evolution of frameworks such as the Spring Framework, Jakarta EE, Quarkus, Micronaut, Helidon, and MicroProfile.
This feature simplifies concurrent programming by introducing the concept of structured concurrency to " treat groups of related tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work, thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability, and enhancing observability." The only significant change is the addition of a method to the StructuredTaskScope.Joiner interface, that allows for implementations of that interface to return a result after the timeout expires.
