instanceof on primitives sounds almost illegal in classic Java. Developers were taught for 20+ years that primitives and instanceof don’t mix. Java is now carefully breaking that rule. What actually changes with this feature, and why does it matter? Manoj Nalledathu Palat, one of our Open Community Experience speakers on the Main Track, will explain why that mental model made sense historically, and why Java is now expanding how instanceof is interpreted as pattern matching becomes more central to the language. This isn’t about new syntax to rush into production. It’s about understanding how Java’s type system is evolving, from the perspective of someone implementing it in the compiler. 🎟️ Attend this talk live at OCX to learn more: https://hubs.la/Q0449rsf0 #java #javacompiler #opensource
