Beyond the big features, Java 11 included several clever improvements that make functional programming and prototyping much smoother.

Java 11 extended the 'var' keyword to lambda parameters, bringing consistency and allowing for cleaner annotation usage in functional code.

Java 11 brought much-needed utility methods to foundational classes like String and Files, simplifying daily tasks for developers.

Java 11 replaced the aging HttpURLConnection with a modern, feature-rich HTTP Client API that supports HTTP/2 and non-blocking I/O.

A comprehensive guide to Java 11 LTS features that modernised Java for the cloud and container era.

Java 17 introduces Enhanced Pseudo-Random Number Generators through JEP 356, providing a modern, flexible framework for generating random numbers. This update brings new interfaces, multiple algorithm implementations, and better support for stream-based operations, addressing limitations of the legacy java.util.Random class.

Records in Java 17 provide a concise way to create immutable data classes, automatically generating constructors, getters, equals, hashCode, and toString.

Text Blocks in Java 17 make multi-line strings readable and maintainable by eliminating escape sequences and preserving formatting.

Pattern Matching for instanceof in Java 17 combines type testing and variable binding, making your code cleaner and more readable.

Sealed Classes in Java 17 provide fine-grained control over inheritance, allowing you to restrict which classes can extend or implement your types.
