Direct-style effects, also known as algebraic effects and effect handlers, are the next big thing in programming languages. At the same time I see some confusion about direct-style effects. In this post I want to address this confusion by explaining the what, the why, and the how of direct-style effects using a Scala 3 implementation as an example.

Java 22 introduces significant updates to core libraries and tools, such as the Class-File API, Launch Multi-File Source-Code Programs, and Stream Gatherers. These enhancements empower developers with enhanced flexibility and productivity, simplifying complex tasks and boosting overall development efficiency.

The Java team at Oracle is working to address two common cases in which a virtual thread parks or blocks and the underlying native thread is not released.

The Java steward expects the OpenJDK to tackle improvements ranging from a simplified main to GPU programming, condensers, and value objects, although all may not arrive this year.

Learn what challenges you probably face when you try to run your microservices on the virtual threads. The challenge might be more complex and bigger if you need to import more Java libraries.

Learn how Quarkus integrates the virtual thread for Java developers to run blocking applications with a single @RunOnVirtualThread annotation.

Virtual threads simplify concurrent programming, enhance scalability, and optimize resource usage in complex applications.

Are you a Java developer interested in keeping up with the cutting-edge of technology? In this article, we'll go over the most advanced Java technologies, as well as the latest trends and technologies shaping the future of Java development.We'll look at everything from microservices in Java applications to the most recent Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Java leads discuss new features like Loom and Valhalla, its emerging role in AI apps, and how improved onboarding plus resources strengthen the ecosystem.

Virtual threads is in preview in Java 21, and this feature helps reduce the effort of writing concurrent applications in Java.
