Technology giant Oracle on September 17 announced the release of Java 23, the latest version of the programming language, coming six months after its previous upgrade. The new version will have 12 JDK enhancement proposals along with thousands of improvements aimed at increasing productivity of developers.
The enhancements planned will drive the platform’s performance, stability, and security help organizations accelerate business growth.
Some of the features include Java 23 now being supported by Java Management Service (JMS) 9.0, an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) native service that provides a unified console and dashboard to help organizations manage Java runtimes and applications on-premises or in any cloud.
Java 23 also delivers improvements and enhancements to the Java language, runtime, libraries, and the tools included in the Java Development Kit (JDK).
Additionally, JMS 9.0 will enable many usability improvements. Oracle JDK 23 provides more options to fine-tune and improve peak performance with the addition of the Graal compiler, a dynamic just-in-time (JIT) compiler written in Java that transforms bytecode into optimized machine code.
Chad Arimura, VP of Developer Relations in the Oracle Java Platform Group told Moneycontrol, “Java will complete 30 years of existence in a couple of months. I’d like to say half of the world’s GDP runs on Java. We care about what goes into Java and various features and functionalities we are working on and the innovation pipeline has never been richer…This is the 14th release in our six-month release camp.”
“The new features in Java 23 help developers across all levels of expertise increase their productivity and streamline the development of high-performing, secure, and scalable applications,” said Georges Saab, senior vice president, Oracle Java Platform and chair, OpenJDK governing board.
He added, “With a wide range of new features and tools designed to help developers build and deliver applications faster and more efficiently, Java 23 helps development teams and their organizations to boost innovation drive increased business growth.”
Oracle Java has also taken a three-pronged strategy to leverage and integrate AI into the programming language. This will include integrating with enterprise data and cloud services, making the Java Platform better for Native AI and connecting business logic to native AI libraries.
