The Panama Effect - Inside Java Podcast 32

The Foreign Function & Memory API will be finalised in JDK 22, the FFM API helps you integrate native code within your Java program.  Using this new API you can efficiently invoke code outside the JVM, safely access memory not managed by the JVM, call native libraries and process native data without the brittleness and danger of JNI.

Jorn Vernee, core contributor and maintainer of Foreign Function & Memory API, is Ana’s guest during this episode. Jorn explains what is Foreign Memory Access API, its goals and the iterations that this API went through. Jorn also shares a few examples of Java libraries that adopted the API, the performance improvements they observed. He also discusses how you can use this new API to integrate a native library within your own Java code.

Why a cup of hot tea / coffee becomes the Java logo. Java literally means rice. Jawa dwipa, the island of rice. While Sumatra old name is swarna dwipa, the island of gold. The high production of rice become one of the main reasons why Javanese is the biggest ethnicity in Indonesia in terms of population, and one of the biggest, if not the biggest in SEA. despite the island itself is relatively small compared to Sumatra or Borneo. Before colonialism, the centre of civilization was far inland where the soil is more suitable for rice field to grow. for instance, the capital of Majapahit is Trowulan, when Jakarta and Surabaya was only small port villages.
