Hey there! I'm Bazlur and I am a Software Engineer. I have over a decade of professional experience in the software industry, primarily in Java and Java-related technologies. Recently, I was honored with the title of Java Champion.

Outside of my regular work hours, I love to mentor, write, speak at conferences, and contribute to open-source projects. I am the founder and current moderator of the Java User Group in Bangladesh, and I have been organizing meetups and conferences to share Java-related knowledge with the community since 2013. I was named Most Valuable Blogger (MVP) at DZone, one of the most recognized technology publishers in the world. Additionally, I am an editor for the Java Queue at InfoQ, another leading technology content publisher and conference organizer, and an editor at Foojay.io, a platform for OpenJDK enthusiasts. I have also published five books about the Java programming language in Bengali, which were bestsellers in Bangladesh.

I earned my bachelor's degree in Information Technology, majoring in Software Engineering from the Institute of Information Technology, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I currently live in Toronto, Canada.

JEP 474, ZGC: Generational Mode by Default, has also been targeted for JDK 23. This JEP proposes to use the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) from non-generational to generational mode by default. The non-generational mode will be deprecated and removed in a future JDK release. This will reduce the cost of maintaining the two modes, so future development can primarily focus on Generational ZGC.... Read further^

JEP 460, Vector API (Seventh Incubator), has been delivered for JDK 22, marking the culmination of iterative enhancements from its initial incubation in JDK 16 through to JEP 448 in JDK 21. This latest version, part of Project Panama, introduces significant improvements upon feedback from six previous rounds of incubation.... Read further^

JEP 458, Launch Multi-File Source-Code Programs, has been Closed/Delivered for JDK 22. This JEP proposes to enhance the Java Launcher to execute an application supplied as one or more files of Java source code. This allows a more gradual transition from small applications to larger ones by postponing a full-blown project setup.... Read further^

JEP 455, Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Preview), has been promoted from Proposed to Target to Targeted for JDK 23. This JEP, under the auspices of Project Amber, proposes to enhance pattern matching by allowing primitive type patterns in all pattern contexts, and extend instanceof and switch to work with all primitive types....

After its review concluded, JEP 447, Statements before super(...) (Preview), was delivered for JDK 22. This JEP, under Project Amber, proposes to allow statements that do not reference an instance being created to appear before super() calls in a constructor and preserve existing safety and initialization guarantees for constructors....

After its review concluded, JEP 423, Region Pinning for G1, has been Integrated into JDK 22. This JEP proposes to reduce GC latency by implementing region pinning for the G1 garbage collector. This will extend G1 so that arbitrary regions may be pinned during both major and minor collection operations, so that disabling the garbage collection process may be avoided while implementing JNI....

After its review concluded, JEP 461, Stream Gatherers (Preview), has been completed for JDK 22. This JEP proposes to enhance the Stream API to support custom intermediate operations. "This will allow stream pipelines to transform data in ways that are not easily achievable with the existing built-in intermediate operations."... Read further^

JEP 457, Class-File API (Preview), has been Integrated into JDK 22, proposing a new API for parsing, generating, and transforming Java class files. This API will initially replace ASM within the JDK with plans for a public API. Goetz, the Java language architect at Oracle, described ASM as outdated and provided details on the API's evolution....

Javet, a fusion of Java and V8 (JAVa + V + EighT), has recently released its version 3.0.2, marking a significant advancement in embedding Node.js and V8 in Java. This version includes Node.js v20.10.0 and V8 v12.0.267.8, highlighting the project's commitment to staying current with the latest developments in these technologies.... Read further^

After its review concluded, JEP 454, Foreign Function & Memory API has been promoted from Targeted to Integrated for JDK 22. This JEP proposes to finalize this feature after two rounds of incubation and three rounds of preview. The API aims to replace traditional, complex methods like JNI, offering a more efficient and secure approach.... Read further^
