Java 21 was an explosive release, but 22 and 23 are no slouches either:
  • from unnamed patterns to module imports
  • from the foreign-function and memory API to stream gatherers and the class-file API
  • from a simpler main to launching multi-source-file programs
  • from Markdown in JavaDoc to improved garbage collection
