What’s Next on My Java Reading List (as a Java Enthusiast) ☕️📚

Java’s been around forever, but the vibes? Still strong. As someone who’s deep into Java and always down to level up, here’s what I’m planning to dive into next.


1. Virtual Threads & Project Loom 🧵

Concurrency in Java used to be a headache. Enter Virtual Threads—hello scalability without the pain. I’m super hyped to see how Project Loom is changing the game for writing async code that reads like sync code. Clean. Simple. Efficient.


2. GraalVM & Native Image 🚀

JVM is great, but sometimes you just want blazing-fast startup and low memory usage. That’s where GraalVM and native compilation come in. I wanna experiment with building native executables with Java—feels like giving your app a performance cheat code.


3. Structured Concurrency

Java is slowly getting more modern, and structured concurrency brings sanity to thread management. Think: lifecycle-bound tasks that don’t leave zombie threads haunting your app. I’m curious how this will change my current concurrency patterns.


4. Java & AI Intersections 🤖

Java isn’t the go-to for AI, but I wanna explore where it fits. TensorFlow for Java? Deep Java Library (DJL)? Maybe hook it up with some RESTful APIs to bring AI smarts into a solid Java backend. Worth poking around.


5. Spring Boot 3 & Jakarta EE 💥

With Spring Boot 3 fully embracing Jakarta EE, it’s a whole new vibe. I wanna see what’s changed, what’s better, and how to tweak my setups for next-gen microservices.


TL;DR 😁


Java’s not just old-school—it’s evolving, fast. Whether it’s concurrency magic, native builds, or AI dreams, there’s a lot to explore. And honestly? I’m here for all of it.
