In the upcoming #Java26, the Vector API stays incubated for the 11th round (JEP 529). It lets you express SIMD-style loops with FloatVector/IntVector so HotSpot can reliably map them to AVX/NEON instructions at runtime, often beating scalar code.👇

Hardened container images are becoming the default. The harder part now is choosing what actually fits your workload. IProgrammer explains how different hardened image approaches make sense depending on what you’re running:
