    • Henri opened Visual Cafe and Visual J++

    • Groovy and Scala.
    • I like Venkat coding in Sublime just like in his real presentations.
    • Other languages motivate Java to move forward (ex: pattern matching, lambdas).
    • Spring – giant slinky.

    • As a service
    • Ravioli code
    • Java acquired superpowers – Invoke dynamic, Method handles, lambdas
    • Java ascends to cloud

My take

This was hilarious. I like that they wrote who the people were on the screen. The historic references were incredible. Happy ending. “Community wins” and Duke comes out. Throw clouds at bad guys
