I don't think that the talk has been released on public YouTube yet (and they made it clear to not share the unlisted links publicly), but here is the posting: [url-redacted]
And the slides are available here: [url-redacted]
I'm afraid that my humor isn't really reflected in the slides, but imagine everything here is said kind of snarkily.
Java can be mostly as nice as Go, the BlockingQueues and Virtual Threads can get you pretty far, though they're not quite as nice as Go channels because there's no real way to select across multiple BlockingQueues like you can with Go channels.
Overall though, I think Java 21 is actually not too bad. Shockingly, I even sometimes have fun writing it.
I think one comment I saw here on HN that Java is better if written in Pythonic way. I agree completely with that stance.
but yeah within Java you've 'merchants of complexity' people who wanna do things in the most abstract way rather than the simple way.
btw Java can be as simple as Go.
