Java doesn’t evolve by accident, and Brian Goetz is at the center of this evolution. In this keynote, the chief language architect offers a behind-the-curtains view of what it’s really like to steward a language that powers half the global GDP.

If you’ve seen Brian speak before, you already know that this is one you won’t want to miss. And maybe he’ll finally answer: “Valhalla when?”
