Java has adopted a 6 months release cycle, with long term support versions being released every two years. In recent years, Android sticked to LTS versions - we got partial support for Java 17 on Android 14 and might see Java 19 in Android 15. Given that most modern Android apps are written in Kotlin, you may be thinking "So what?!". However, Android is still closely tied to Java. Therefore, supporting a recent Java version is more than a welcome goodie: it can make your apps smaller, faster and more stable. In this talk, we'll look at the latest additions to the Java language and how they affect us as Kotlin devs. You'll also learn about additions and changes to the Java standard library and how they can help you with your existing apps.
