Abstract:
One of the coolest aspects of Java is the fact that the newer features simply do not live in isolation, but interplay quite nicely with each other. A place where this is clearly evident is the synergy between records, sealed classes, and pattern matching. In this presentation, we will focus on pattern matching and how its power is enhanced by records and also the sealed classes. The details presented will help you to make the best use of all three features in your own applications.
