A roundup of what major OpenJDK projects plan to work on in 2025, covering Project Babylon (code reflection, GPU programming via HAT), Project Loom (structured concurrency and scoped values finalization), Project Leyden (ahead-of-time method profiling and code compilation), Project Lilliput (compact 8-byte object headers evaluation), Project Panama (vector API waiting on Valhalla, FFM performance improvements, jextract enhancements), and Project Valhalla (value types preview JEP 401 as top priority, plus null-checked types). The author emphasizes that working on a feature does not mean it will ship in 2025, and encourages developers to try preview features and provide feedback to respective mailing lists.
