Nikita Lipsky - Java 8 Support at the JVM Level (Ru)

Java SE 8 has brought lambdas, default methods, type annotations, compact profiles, etc. As a result, the Java SE platform specification was changed to reflect new features. The session shows how the new Java 8 features have been implemented in Excelsior JET JVM, written from scratch, very different from the Oracle HotSpot JVM, but compatible with the Java SE specification. As a result, an attendee will refresh his/her memory regarding new Java 8 features, will learn how they affected the JVM specification, how the lambda expressions are translated into Java bytecode and how they can be optimized at the JVM level.
