I was pretty skeptical about the benefit of sealed classes in

#Java17. But I have to admit, there are cases, where #SealedClasses may help to improve understandability of code structure. One case for me is building clean tree models, either in #JavaFX or in #Swing.

Measuring the impact of performance changes is critical to ensure they are having the expected impact, as well as finding areas where performance might need to be improved. Tools like JDK Flight Recorder are an excellent choice for this. inside.java/sip/011 6/7
