178: Java 22 Released! And I Am The Technical Debt
Illegal Argument
Last week, Greg and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Andres Almiray from Oracle to discuss this week's release of Java 22. I was hoping to get this episode out sooner but ended up fighting it out with a fever. Alert Notification Java 22 Released Tomorrow JDK 22 Release Notes: JavaFX Release Notes: Does Java 22 Kill Build Tools? Update on String Templates (JEP 459) (most likely to preview in 23) — First preview feature to be unshipped and reworked entirely? Misc released — This is the first release that requires Java 17!

New Year, Old Year? What Year!?!
Illegal Argument
It's been a long time (again) between recording/discussions, but finally, for the end of the year, we locked some time to record. Java Golang [Go 1.21 Release Notes - The Go Programming Language]( (soon to be released) Misc Versioning non-project repositories (config, pipelines) Semverbot looks good, but I found a bug: DORA - Software Design and Maintainability Dagger Java SDK examples:

176 - Better Late Than Never?
Illegal Argument
Non-tech Music Banter A litany of languages and their passing, software archaeology and the issues of adopting new languages? JDK 21 to be released next month: has a good overview. Not a fan of the syntax, but also appreciate it's not just "string interpolation", it makes it very clear you're doing something different. I like that it's easily expandable and not too different from other languages that use r"Raw String here". NOTE: String Template Processing is runtime, not compile time, as Mark was thinking, as with being able to work well with Freemarker templates – which may...

175: 18 And Life...
Illegal Argument
Episode 175 - 18 And Life Until last week, I was going to open the show saying it's been a long time since we last recorded, but we slipped in an interview with the guys from plz.review - so that's not exactly true anymore. It has, however, still been a while since we've had a normal, full session of discussion and argument. Delayed: The publishing/editing of this episode was unfortunately delayed due to me finally catching Covid. plz.review Updates Github "integration" is available, we even had listed in the show notes, as part of GerritForge there's for online hosted Gerrit+GitHub...

Reddit Post: Blog Post: YouTube Introduction Video: Website: Guests: Dylan Trotter, Matt Schweitz It's been a while since recording, and as it happens, just before organizing the next episode, full of “discussion” on the recent Java 18, and forth-coming Java 19 release, I came across an r/programming post from Dylan Trotter from Bit Complete about their new stacked code review tool for Github. After reading the post, linked blog post, and introductory YouTube video, I reached out to discuss the product, the problems with Github's default PR model, and code review in general. Contents ...

172: Separating The Release From The Build
Illegal Argument
Once again it's been a long time coming between episodes, Auckland's recent extended Covid lock down and Mark's unscheduled and temporary relocation meant we missed out on discussion the release of Java 17 - and with Java 18 not all that far away, we thought it was about time to once again get our record on. Andres Almiray once again joins us to talk releases, and specifically the tool.

info_outlineInitially tonight’s episode was going to be called “The Patch Is All” (guess whose been enjoying the new season of Killjoys?) — with a discussion about pre code-review practises, however with Peter’s absence, the discussion centred mostly around the 2017 Java Language Summit which was taking place around the recording period.
