👉 Join us for JavaOne 2026. https://www.oracle.com/javaone/ Java's development embraces the past as well as the future and after contributing to it for over 30 years, John Rose is intimately familiar with the process. In this episode he talks about feature design, the right amount of technical debt (which isn't actually zero), why Rice's theorem demands a mix of static and dynamic checks, how Project Sumatra eventually birthed Panama and Babylon, and more. Nicolai Parlog talks to John Rose, Senior Architect of the Java Virtual Machine, who has over 30 years of experience driving Java forward. This episode of the Inside.Java Podcast was recorded during JavaOne 2025 (CA, March 2025). • John's art collection ➤ http://rosehome.org/work/DukeArt • Inside.Java Podcast ➤ https://inside.java/podcast • More JavaOne content ➤ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX8CzqL3ArzVV1xRJkRbcM2tOgVwytJAi ⎯⎯⎯⎯ Chapters ⎯⎯⎯⎯ 0:00 Intro 1:54 Obvious in Hindsight 9:01 Technical Debt 13:26 Embracing the Past and the Future 21:08 From Sumatra to Panama and Babylon 34:11 Memorabilia I 35:15 Java Versions 40:15 Turing Machines 41:49 Memorabilia II 46:50 Dynamic vs Static vs Rice 52:25 Memorabilia III 54:44 Peak of Complexity 58:58 Memorabilia IV 1:02:05 Outro Tags: #Java #OpenJDK #Podcast #InsideJava #Babylon #Panama #Valhalla
