Java 25 First Impressions
About the most interesting thing in Java 25 is JEP 505 Structured Concurrency. It can clean up a lot of complex code where formerly, one had to jump through hoops to clean up on failure. It looks like it should work very well with the virtual threads that are already introduced. To properly leverage it, it does mean that engineers will need to be more careful around InterruptedException and don't just eat it as was commonplace before.
JEP 513 is a 'meh' thing which can help but there was perfectly adequate workarounds using static methods to validate constructor arguments and more.
Meanwhile JEP 495 feels kinda pointless.
