Just noticed this
slideshow from
QCon 2012 on the vision for Java's evolution over the next few versions.
Some highlights of JDK 8:
- closures via lambda expressions
- filter-map-reduce framework
- modules
and further out:
- JNI goes away!
- support for big in-memory data (arrays) and data structure optimizations
A key driver of these enhancements is the transition to multi-core and the end of the free performance lunch. This is a great graph that puts it in perspective - those flat lines are the lunch bill arriving.
QCon always has excellent presentations, so I'm sure there's some other thought-provoking slideware on that site as well.
