I'm no longer active on Twitter, or even paying attention. I've moved over to Mastodon @JamesGosling@universeodon.com

I've moved over to Mastodon @JamesGosling@universeodon.com. Nothing interesting there (yet). It's not like I'm a prolific user of Twitter.

I had been hoping that Musk might have a shred of social intelligence, but no... So this is my farewell to Twitter. Now I'm entirely on Facebook, at least until Zuckerberg goes from whacky to evil. facebook.com/james.gosling.9… gizmodo.com/twitter-layoffs-…

What a powerful and eloquent contrast between the candidates for senator for Georgia. I find it mind boggling that this race (and many others) is close. Lying morons shouldn’t get a single vote.
Stop what you’re doing and watch this complete takedown of @HerschelWalker by pastor @jamalhbryant. #WeDontNeedAWalker

A few weeks ago I gave a talk at DEVOXX all about building IoT software and Greengrass from AWS. I finally got around to watching the video. It's pretty decent if you speed it up 1.5x youtu.be/NtrF_SiFQag

Climate action can’t wait.    That’s why we’re introducing legislation to make sure the EPA can transition us to a clean energy future.

For those of you still stuck on JDK8, there's a new Corretto release with all the latest updates and CVE defenses. But please, get off JDK8 as fast as you can. JDK17 LTS is a huge leap in every dimension. github.com/corretto/corretto…

The Corretto build of JDK18 is out. There's a lot to love in JDK18: snippets are a great creature comfort; the vector APIs are sweet (I only wish I needed them these days); the simple HTTP server; Foreign Function & Memory API... So much! aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wha…

“Raise” was never considered. Although, I personally prefer it. Java’s initial design was all about appealing to C/C++ developers. Throw is what C++ called it.

NetBeans 13 is out! I've been using the early releases for a while. It's lovely. Take it out for a spin. Better yet, it's all open source, so you can help make it even better!
With bundled nb-javac, simplifying the startup experience significantly, a fresh new Light FlatLaf look and feel by default, and partial upgrades for Maven, Gradle, and PHP, #Apache #NetBeans 13 is here, check it out at netbeans.apache.org:

James Gosling retweeted
Hints for those commenting on invocation of Canada's emergency legislation: 1) This law was passed relatively recently, 1988. It is explicitly subordinate to Canada's charter of rights. It replaced the much more draconian emergency laws that were invoked in 1914, 1939, and 1970

Right. Security isn’t a feature you add on. It’s a mindset that has to influence every line of code you ever write. Just like ethics, reliability and performance. We, as software developers, are building the world we will inhabit. Make it a good one.
Replying to @tackline
Not wrong, but also a counsel of perfection. “Write better code.” But how? You’re right that security can’t be reviewed-in after the fact; it must be written securely in the first place. It follows that all devs (not just “security engineers”) need to learn more about security.
