JAVA IS BECOMING MORE LIKE RUST, AND I AM HERE FOR IT!

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Java is evolving to incorporate concepts popularized by Rust, such as immutable data structures by default and algebraic data types. These changes were inspired by Rust's emphasis on compile-time safety guarantees. Developers can now define immutable records in Java. Java's new sealed interfaces and exhaustive switch syntax enable the use of algebraic data types so that code handles all possible states of a variable in a type-safe manner.
