2026-06-19 , E104 (capacity 72)

This talk will cover the most interesting and most impacting features of java platform, language and virtual machine from 22 to 27. From disabled SecuritManager, over quantum crypto, restricted JNI and new native approaches, to Virtual Threads synchronization, AOT, compact headers, vector API and much more. While staying fully backward compatible and staying in top-ten languages for years - Java remains also progressive language without any gaps to other languages.
