IntelliJ IDEA Conf 2022 | Should I Upgrade to Java 17?

Java 11 was released in September 2018, and Java 17 was released in 2021. However, even today, plenty of developers still use Java 11 or even Java 8. The motivation behind this talk is to make a compelling argument for an upgrade from Java 8 or 11 to Java 17. In this session, Nikhil will showcase the new features, demonstrate improvements, provide performance comparisons, and briefly discuss upgrade strategies. There will be a mix of live coding and presentation, and at the end, you’ll be able to answer the question, “Should I upgrade to Java 17?”

Speaker: Nikhil Nanivadekar (Principal Engineer at Amazon)

Why is nobody talking about java 9 modules? Is it a dying feature or not interesting? P.S. The video is very informative and interesting. Thanks for the presentation.
