Brian Goetz discusses Java's historical design choices, serialization, nullability, and why Clojure is his favorite non-Java JVM language.
Mutability, nullability, serialization, primitives - Java seems to have gotten most things wrong. But could it have been successful otherwise? Brian Goetz and I discuss why Java is the way it is. Intro What's wrong with serialization? How it could've been better null - the hole in Java's type system Why that's not easy to fix Strict mode, compatibility, trade-offs Nominal vs structural typing Java got all the defaults wrong Primitives then and now Brian's favorite language Outro Brian: Java Language Architect at Oracle; creator of lambdas and streams; bringer of var, switch expressions, and records; harbinger of pattern matching, reinvented serialization, and value types. twitter.com/BrianGoetz Nicolai: Website: nipafx.dev Twitter: twitter.com/nipafx Twitch: twitch.tv/nipafxWhy it's here
