Java continues to evolve at a steady, reliable pace, with new releases every six months. Java 24 is scheduled to debut in March 2025, promising refined features, performance gains, and new functionality. Below is a refreshed look at what’s in store.

1. Quick Disclaimer

While the Java community expects Java 24 in March 2025, everything here reflects the current plans and early-access discussions. Some items might change before the official launch.

2. Potential Highlights in Java 24

2.1 Virtual Threads (Project Loom)

Virtual threads have revolutionized concurrency in Java by making it simpler to handle large volumes of concurrent tasks. With Java 24, you can look forward to:

  • Optimized scheduling for huge numbers of virtual threads.
  • Improved debugging support in popular IDEs.
  • Better integration with frameworks like Spring and Quarkus.
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor();

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
executor.submit(() -> {
System.out.println("Running in a virtual thread: " + Thread.currentThread());
});
}
executor.shutdown();
