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've just recently studied this topic because I was also looking for optimization solutions. For example, I was very impressed with the sealed classes feature, which allows you to limit who can inherit a class. This can significantly improve code security and readability. You should also pay attention to switch expressions, they make the code much more readable. If you're interested, here's more about the new features of Java https://digiscorp.com/java-development-services/. I recently used this resource myself when looking for examples for real projects. By the way, in practice, these updates helped me a lot to make my application architecture more flexible.
