Evolving the Java Language: An Inside Perspective

Wednesday, March 18 | 4:15 PM – 5:30 PM

Java doesn’t evolve by accident, and Brian Goetz is at the center of this evolution. In this keynote, the Chief Language Architect offers a behind-the-curtains view of what it’s really like to steward a language that powers half the global GDP. You’ll walk away with a clearer sense of how major technical decisions get made—and how that perspective can shape the way you design and build applications today. If you’ve seen Brian speak before, you already know: this is one you won’t want to miss. And maybe he’ll finally answer: “Valhalla when?”
