Angelos Bimpoudis on November 11, 2024switch
and instanceof
have been the gates of data introspection in Java since 1.0.
In modern times, the same constructs have been rehabilitated to enable full-blown pattern matching and offer a vision of data-oriented programming to Java developers.
In this talk we are going to have a look into what switch
and instanceof
are for Java developers today and offer a holistic view of all the exciting directions that can be a possible future for Java’s pattern matching abilities.
