Nice article! The increased cadence of releases has allowed a lot of cool features to be added to Java. Even the smaller additions of List.of() and Map.of() has saved me heaps of time!

The new HttpClient is also a nice replacement for UrlConnection. I wrote an article about it here.

These new changes and collection factory method really reduced lots of boilerplate, at least now I am feeling happy as a Java developer after so long 😉
