Panama - A Foreign Policy for Java

Explore Project Panama's revolutionary approach to foreign function and data structure integration in Java in this 43-minute conference talk. Discover how developers can use the "jextract" tool to translate native headers into Java interfaces, enabling seamless binding to native methods and data structures without platform-specific C or C++ code. Learn about the benefits of coding platform-specific idioms directly in Java, including improved developer productivity, enhanced security, and increased efficiency. Delve into the inner workings of Panama, with a focus on the challenges of providing expressive and efficient foreign interoperability support. Gain insights from Maurizio Cimadamore, an experienced compiler engineer from Oracle, who has contributed to numerous Java Programming Language features.
