JEP 280: Indify String Concatenation [0]
This JEP proposed to change the static |String|-concatenation bytecode
sequence generated by |javac| to use |invokedynamic| calls to JDK
library functions. This will enable future optimizations of |String|
concatenation without requiring further changes to the bytecode emitted
by |javac|.
Early Access b104 <https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> for JDK 9 with Project
Jigsaw is available on java.net.
Great to meet so many of you at FOSDEM this year, videos of some of the
presentations are available [1]
