  <description> Non-tech Music Banter   An Updated Look At Concert Merchandise Sales &amp;amp;amp; Trends in 2022 Why Venues Take Merch Cuts  The Taylor Swift Economy: The largest music tour in history is a hospitality phenomenon   A litany of languages and their passing, software archaeology and the issues of adopting new languages?  Clojure - (next Rich)   JDK 21 to be released next month: JDK 21 Release Candidates &amp;amp;amp; JVM Language Summit has a good overview.  JEP 430: String Templates (Preview)  Not a fan of the syntax, but also appreciate it's not just &amp;quot;string interpolation&amp;quot;, it makes it very clear you're doing something different. I like that it's easily expandable and not too different from other languages that use r&amp;quot;Raw String here&amp;quot;. NOTE: String Template Processing is runtime, not compile time, as Mark was thinking, as with being able to work well with Freemarker templates – which may work, but not as I implied.   JEP 431: Sequenced Collections look like a nice improvement for consistency – annoying for library writers who may find it more useful, tho. Mark: 440: Record Patterns and 441: Pattern Matching for switch – having used these a bit now I love them, in places they fit – they work well for Algebraic Data Type style things, but should be used in moderation tho. JEP 443: Unnamed Patterns and Variables (Preview)  It's a small win, but not having to name things “ignore” or “expected” etc.   JEP 445: Unnamed Classes and Instance Main Methods (Preview)  Initially didn't think I'd find much interest in this, but the more I experiment with Dagger.IO pipelines, and with the forthcoming Java SDK I can see this being enjoyable. JBang as an alternative    JEP draft: Prepare to Restrict The Use of JNI - JDK 22 to start warning on JNI usage…&amp;amp;nbsp; The Reddit thread is well - as you expect :)  JEP draft: Prepare to Restrict The Use of JNI (Updated): r/java   Flame threads on the JNI command flag option.
