¿Qué esperar de Java en 2020?

Coincidencia de patrones por ejemplo de (Vista previa)

if (obj instanceof String) {
    String s = (String) obj;
    System.out.println(s.toUpperCase());
}

if (obj instanceof String s) {
   System.out.println(s.toUpperCase());

return (obj instanceof String s) && s.contains(“prefix_”) ? s.toUpperCase() : null;

NullPointerExceptions útiles

public String getStreetFromRequest(Request request) {
   return request.getAddress().getStreet().toUpperCase();
}

// 
public abstract sealed class Base {
   public static class ChildA extends Base{}
   public static class ChildB extends Base{}
}

// 
public sealed interface BaseInterface permits ChildC, ChildD{
}

//  
public class ChildC implements BaseInterface {
