Java 24 is here, and if you’re still writing Java 8 code in


2024… buddy, it’s time for an intervention.

Let’s dive into the coolest features (with code) that will
make your life easier—or at least help you flex in tech
discussions.

1. Computed Constants (JEP 471) – Compile-time


evaluated constants! No more runtime calculations clogging
your performance.

Before ( Java 23 and Below) :

Now in Java 24

Performance boost and immutability—what’s not to love?

2. Implicit Classes & Instance Main Methods (JEP 463) –


Java finally lets you skip the public class Main boilerplate.

Before( Java 23 and Below)

Now in Java 24

Just type void main() and Java handles the rest! Simple,
elegant, and less typing.

3. Primitive Types in Generics (JEP 456) – No more


unnecessary boxing/unboxing!.

Before( Java 23 and Below)

Now in Java 24

Better performance and cleaner code. You love to see it.

JEP 430

4. String Templates (JEP 430) – No more String.format()


nonsense.

Before( Java 23 and Below)

Now in Java 24

Reads cleaner, looks modern, and finally catches up to


JavaScript & Python

5. Unnamed Variables & Patterns (JEP 456) – Skip


variables you don’t need!

Before( Java 23 and Below)

Now in Java 24

Less clutter, more clarity!

6. Performance & Garbage Collector Improvements –


Because Java updates and GC improvements go hand in
hand.

Better memory management in G1 and ZGC.

Faster warm-up time for Java apps.

Lower latency means your app runs smoother.
