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 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]
