By way of #introduction: I’m the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle. I’ve worked on every #Java / #JDK release since version 1.1, in 1997. You can blame me for character-stream readers/writers, reference objects, shutdown hooks, the NIO high-performance I/O APIs, service loaders, and modules. I currently lead the #Leyden and JDK Projects in the #OpenJDK Community, where I also serve on the Governing Board.
I’m also a Twitter refugee, now exploring the Fediverse via @ivory.
For the record, my final tweet (https://twitter.com/mreinhold/status/1618336980156428289):
Sayonara, Twitter.
Without notice you broke @tweetbot, @twitterrific, and other third-party clients after they spent years helping you build your ecosystem — with far better UIs than you could muster. Shame on you.
I’ll be over here: https://mastodon.social/@mreinhold
@mreinhold @BrianGoetz@twitter.com You can't blame a #java Architect for standing firm against API breakage. 😉 j/k
