I'm very disappointed by the non-announcement that the String Templates preview feature is being completely removed.

  It is removed in Java 23 but hopefully will be back in Java 24 once they finalize the ergonomics around template processing.

  Is it? Last I checked (https://openjdk.org/jeps/465 https://openjdk.org/jeps/465) it was being proposed for finalisation. Where did you read it's being removed instead?

    They completely rehauling this feature. It won't be finalized in the current state.

      Ok interesting, where I can I read about why they decided to back it out after 2nd preview?

        They found a better/simpler abstraction. Here is the mailing list (I link to the reddit thread, because there are some useful comments): https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/1ba0brh/update_on_string_templates_jep_459/ https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/1ba0brh/update_on_str...

  Third Preview https://openjdk.org/jeps/465 https://openjdk.org/jeps/465 was last updated at 2024/03/21 17:42 Are you sure they completely removed it or you meant something else?

    Yes they did, because the feedback was mostly negative, so it is back to the drawing board. https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/amber-spec-experts/2024-March/004010.html https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/amber-spec-experts/2024-M...

    Completely gutted from the OpenJDK, last I checked. See here for the culprit PR: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/18688 https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/18688
