I really feel Java already has everything I need to do my work. More improvements are always welcome of course.

  Me too. I do not like records or pattern matching in Java. We have scala/kotlin/groovy for this. Java should have focused more on improving libraries, build infra (Java 9 was good) and changes in syntax focused on the traditional paradigm. If people needed pattern matching. Thy could mix languages. This is huge. I find myself more and more distant from java these days because of this.

    Records, pattern matching and the like are eons better than POJOs manipulated by reflection. Especially once value types come and many record type can be propagated as a value type, it will also cause huge speed improvements.

      The demonstration on youtube is really nice. The 500 x 500 matrix of objects showed a really fast speed up. I suspect though that internally theres still a lot of plumbing that needs to be changed on top of what they've already changed. It was the same way for reflection, lambdas, threads. They really do a great job on iterating and keeping backwards compatability too.
