Oh my! So this episode Freddy couldn't be in (He was busy running a Seattle JUG meetup), but have no Fear! As Bob, Michael and Josh took the helm on recording (and making sure that I was red with jealousy at not being there). Covering the news (Javaone is coming!), to the latest topics (Java dead again?) we have a breath of fresh air, and "back to roots" format on how we used to record these.  So come and start listening to this episode, in the nostalgic format of how we started! http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap http://www.twitter.com/offheap Conferences JavaOne is back https://www.oracle.com/cloudworld/javaone/ Apache Con (New Orleans Oct 3 - 6)  https://www.apachecon.com/ Spring One (December 6-8 CFP closes June 20 registration is currently open) DevTalks Romania:  https://www.devtalks.ro/about/ News Loom to Java 19 https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/05/java-news-roundup-apr25-2022/ Hilla Spring for GraphQL 1.0 https://spring.io/projects/spring-graphql  - Spring Boot 2.7  - Spring Framework 6 - M4  - Spring Boot 3 - M3 Project Leyden https://openjdk.org/projects/leyden/ Kotlin 1.7.0 https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2022/06/kotlin-1-7-0-released/ Lightbend Kalix.  https://www.kalix.io
