Try Switch Expressions in Java 12

Java 12 is here, and there’s plenty to get excited about—even though the six-month release cycle is by now a well-tuned engine. One feature to check out is switch expressions, which can replace spaghetti if-then code with concise conditional statements. There are also garbage collector improvements as part of a multipronged effort to keep Java memory-efficient.

In other news, last month we announced the Groundbreaker Awards; in response, developers around the world nominated dozens of stellar candidates via Twitter. Now it’s time to vote for the winners! Voting ends April 19 .
