What new features have appeared in the latest versions of Java?

Recently, I've become interested in the issue of new Java features. The thing is that on a previous project where we worked with a large amount of data, I faced the problem of our code being slow. This made me think: is there anything new in the latest versions of Java that could improve performance? I'd heard that Java 17 had some interesting features, but I didn't have time to look into it. Perhaps some of you have already worked with the new features and can share your impressions?

I recently explored this topic while searching for optimization solutions in Java development services. One feature that stood out to me was sealed classes, which let you control who can inherit a class. This greatly enhances both code security and readability. Another improvement worth noting is switch expressions, which make the code much cleaner and more concise. If you're interested in learning more about Java's new features, check out this resource: https://digiscorp.com/java-development-services/ . I personally found it very useful when searching for examples applicable to real projects. In fact, these updates significantly improved the flexibility of my application architecture.

It seems that many programming languages are actively developing nowadays, but Java is particularly interesting because of the way it adapts to modern needs. I like it when technology remains stable along with progress. By the way, I wonder how often people update their projects to new versions or stay with the old ones because of stability. This seems to be an eternal dilemma in IT.
