Java 10 and IntelliJ IDEA

In the post-Java 9 world, we're now getting new releases of Java every 6 months. It feels like Java 9 was only just released, and Java 10 is already here! In this webinar recording, we see if there are any features in Java 10 that will be useful to developers, and look at how IntelliJ IDEA can help us to use those features.

See how IntelliJ IDEA can help you to modernise your code to take advantage of the latest features of Java.

Basically it should've been 5 minute video: here's where you set SDK to 10, here's our new inspection, here's how it works. The rest was basic info that any developer switching to J10 has had to read and know already—from JDK documentation and related blogs. Wasted hour :(
Probably there was some reasoning on JetBrains side behind making this into webinar, but that reasoning is obviously beyond my capability.

That said, my gratitude towards JetBrains is never ending. Thank you for existing and making my professional life easier and more enjoyable with IntelliJ and Kotlin!

At 10:31, I still dont understand why
ArrayList<Person> people= new ArrayList<>();
cannot be converted to
var people= new ArrayList<Person>();

The statement has all the information for it to be converted to a java 10 statement

God, give me the patience I need! The woman is talking about 'var' since 15 minutes and she still continues.

I would like to recommend a plugin to everyone for Java10 to show the type of `var` like Kotlin which named `JavaX Var Type Hint`

[Shhhh]

And here I was hoping to find out more about the other features in Java10 but got a "nice" 1h long video discussing "var". Quality vid JetBrainsTV.... "quality" indeed...

It is a verbose monstrosity, but it is a verbose monstrosity that I love very much. <3

var: a useless feature intended to copy C#

[bluemeriadoc]

I pretty much had a seizure at 37:57. var is going to make Java hell

I wonder if you could just zoom the code ?!? Terribly annoying!
