The OpenJDK community has published plans for Java development in 2025 which include significant enhancements across several projects like Babylon, Leyden, and Loom. Key initiatives aim to improve performance through the Foreign Function and Memory API, ahead-of-time code compilation, and finalize the structured concurrency API. Notable projects such as Babylon focus on integrating Java with foreign programming models and machine learning, while Leyden seeks to optimize startup times. These proposals underline a strategic vision to enhance Java's efficiency and usability in various programming contexts.
Java enhancements for 2025 focus on performance improvements, notably through the FFM API, ahead-of-time compilation, and finalizing the structured concurrency API.
The OpenJDK community, led by developer advocate Nicolai Parlog, outlined ambitious plans for enhancing Java's capabilities with projects like Babylon, Leyden, and more.
Project Babylon aims to extend Java to foreign programming models, prepare for code reflection incubation, and develop tools for machine learning and GPU integrations.
Project Leyden is set to improve Java's startup time by implementing AOT method profiling and code compilation, changing how applications initialize.
