Feature soup is kind of meaningless. The open source community has whatever it needs now.
Many "alot" of java programmers in the US cant code to JDK8 already. I love the JVM but these Java releases are not being adopted on any real scale for a reason. They break things. And syntax sugar is boring and unnecessary for a crew of software engineers that have no real ethos surrounding records or any of these features.
They are just being rolled out to appease devs from other ecosystems. They will not form a new or better method for building systems or improve performance.
This does nothing that important. I do detest annotation soup, but what would be more useful is to simply generate a competent rest service and client from the openai spec. There is nothing performant or magical about using Java here.
In fact the comments on performance are pretty dumb. The JIT compiler is the only source of performance in the jvm and you will never make a performance optimization that beats the JIT
I agree with the hoarding bit. I'm not an fan of that either.
But I'm much less of a fan of the self importance of tech pretending this "data" has any more use than temporary ad surveillance until they delete it or resell it.
Now for the news: the only content you see on social networks is designed to reinforce your supposedly persistent self and sell ads.
There is no other purpose for social media.
All social media content on the internet since the internet began will be deleted, lost and forgotten as there will be no profit motive to do otherwise.
