Java Language Architect Brian Goetz on How Java Could Evolve

Java language architect Brian Goetz spoke at last month's JVM Summit, delivering a talk that looked to Java's future.

Goetz discussed not the Java we have now, but a hypothetical "set of features that are designed not to be used by themselves as a way to write better programs — but as a mechanism for making the language more growable and more extensible."

In short, Goetz explained how he sees the Java language evolving, "and we feel like we've come to a point now where we have a pretty good idea of which way we want to go with this."
