  Great video. Lots of exciting new features coming. <br>I&apos;m really looking forward to the &quot;Create Derived Records&quot; and &quot;Non-Null&quot; fields. <br>Maybe we could get rid of Lombok and JSpecify one day :D

  I would love to see new collection framework. Throwing exception if list does not support mutation is a terrible design imo. Caller has no idea what he truly gets.

  Looks like Scala/Kotlin (or even Golang/Rust) pushed Java more forward. Can&apos;t remember such active changes in times of Java 5 - Java 8.

  I like this version of Derived Record Creation a lot!<br>I hope the Java team can implement some kind of performance optimization. For chained with-expressions, it would be useful if only one new instance will be created.

  Would much, much prefer the ! and ? suffixes to type names to indicate nullability in types.

  Most of these features are ok.. I guess.<br>But it would be nice to have a more language supported way of dealing with memorysegments and memorylayout so we don&apos;t have to write a bunch of VarHandle code to do stuff.
