My employer should give me a raise just for watching this.

I like many of these features, but I'm not sure about the simplified interface. We always use "--no-ff", for example. Now it's two clicks away instead of one.

Good stuff. I wish text blocks could be somehow magically back-ported. Or, I wish the code I am writing could be magically okay to be done in Java 15. Baggage, alas.

[HenningGu]

I like how I'll probably never use those features in the foreseeable future

[mstave]

Would be good if you could share the Github pull request love with Github Enterprise users...

[Maarttttt]

Java language designers taking a good chunk of inspiration from Kotlin.
