Java 27 grows up, makes better choices
“JDK 27 is the release where Java stops asking you to opt in to good defaults and simply turns them on,” wrote backend engineer Arvind Kumar, on his education site Codefarm. Better default settings may not be groundbreaking, but they do make life easier for developers because they mean coders have fewer things to change. Nor should users have to grapple with new features, particularly if they are not of interest.
