Most projects that updated past Java 8 decided to stick to the LTS release 11. The new cadence created the illusion of not much happening after that, but nothing could be further from the truth - with new language features like switch expressions, text blocks, records, and sealed classes - Java is moving faster than ever.

In this talk, we'll take a simple Java 11 code base, update it to 15, and refactor it to use the new language features and APIs. You'll be surprised how much the code changes!
