Our HappyHour events offer a dedicated introduction to our key partners. Our goal with this event series is to give you a deep insight into a company before a possible formal interview.

This time, the spotlight will be on McKinsey's managers, who will be there to answer any questions you may have about the company. During the first 10-15 minutes of the event, a development manager will introduce the current team, the technologies, and the project, after which interested parties can ask any questions they may have.

Our presenter, Dávid experimented with these features and delved into JDK Enhancement Proposals, API diffs, and interviews with the authors to provide insights into their usage.

We'll discuss Project Amber (developer productivity), Project Loom (lightweight threads), Project Panama (native code integration), Project ZGC (low-latency garbage collector), and core library changes, and glimpse how the Java ecosystem is evolving.

The presentation answers the following questions:

• What are the new features in the next LTS of Java and JVM? 
• What makes a release "LTS"?
• Are there any new exciting language features we can use in day-to-day coding?
• Are there any new libraries and capabilities in the JVM that might be leveraged?

This presentation is for you, if you:

• write Java code.
• operate applications written in Java.
• or if you are just curious how the platform evolves.
