Memory safety in C++ has become a hot topic recently, with growing attention on initiatives like TrapC and Safe C++ that aim to tackle the language’s memory safety challenges. However, Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, continues to advocate for the use of profiles as a critical tool for ensuring safety in the language. Stroustrup believes that profiles, which impose specific restrictions on features without altering the language’s core structure, are essential to address memory safety concerns while maintaining the language’s flexibility and power. In a memo sent to members of the ISO C++ committee on February 7, Stroustrup underscored…

Zencoder is an AI-powered coding assistant that integrates seamlessly with popular development environments like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs. Designed to accelerate the product development process, Zencoder aims to help developers code faster, much like other well-known AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q Developer, and Tabnine. What sets Zencoder apart is its inclusion of AI agents, which can enhance the development process by assisting with tasks like code generation and reasoning, similar to the capabilities offered by GitHub Copilot Workspace and Amazon Q Developer Agent. One of Zencoder’s standout features is its “repo grokking” functionality. This…

Salesforce has unveiled Agentforce 2dx, the latest iteration of its agentic AI platform, designed to streamline the creation, testing, and deployment of intelligent agents capable of automating complex business processes. With this third version, Salesforce aims to make it easier for developers to build AI-powered workflows that span departments—from sales and marketing to finance, HR, and operations. Agentforce 2dx continues the evolution of the platform by enhancing both the developer experience and integration capabilities, building upon the foundation laid by its predecessor launched in December. This new release is heavily developer-centric and introduces several notable features, including a robust API,…

Python may not be known for raw execution speed, but it has earned a reputation for being one of the most developer-friendly languages out there. Its readable syntax, massive ecosystem of libraries, and rapid development cycle make it a favorite among developers in nearly every field. One of Python’s more underrated strengths is its ability to interoperate with other programming languages, especially those that compile down to C or provide a C-compatible interface. That’s where Zig comes in—a rising star in systems programming that offers both performance and safety, and happens to integrate nicely with Python. Zig can be leveraged…

After recently diving into the top front-end JavaScript frameworks, it’s time to shift focus to the back end—specifically, to the rich and mature world of Java and JVM language frameworks. This ecosystem offers a wide array of tools for building everything from static sites to full-fledged APIs and enterprise applications. Whether you’re working in pure Java or exploring languages like Kotlin or Scala, the Java Virtual Machine provides a stable, high-performance environment packed with powerful libraries and frameworks. Java has long been a pillar of the software development world. Known for its reliability, security, and scalability, it continues to evolve…

Forward-thinking development teams strive to design systems that remain adaptable for as long as possible. Rather than hard-coding specific tools, libraries, or services into their applications, they delay making final decisions until absolutely necessary. This approach doesn’t just future-proof the codebase—it fosters a culture of flexibility and encourages designs that are both modular and extensible. By not committing too early, teams create systems that can evolve with changing requirements, new technologies, and shifting priorities. At the heart of this adaptability lies a key principle: writing code that is decoupled from specific implementations. One of the most effective ways to achieve…

Although Java Development Kit (JDK) 25 isn’t scheduled for release until September, the development community is already getting a glimpse of what’s to come. The first proposed feature for JDK 25 is a preview of a stable values API, an addition that’s set to bring meaningful improvements to the Java platform. Most notably, it aims to enhance the startup performance of Java applications—a perennial challenge for developers working on large-scale systems or performance-sensitive tools. At its core, the stable values API introduces a new way to handle immutable data within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Stable values are treated similarly…

Digital transformation began with the shift from paper-based processes to digital workflows, a move that helped organizations become more efficient and streamline operations. In the ideal scenario, paper documents were converted into web or mobile forms, and workflows replaced the traditional handoff of physical documents. However, many organizations simply converted paper-based documents into digital formats like PDFs or Microsoft Word files. With these digital documents came the need for document processing technologies that could extract structured data and make them more usable in modern workflows. Earlier document processing technologies were based on rule-based systems that used patterns to extract specific…

Microsoft has officially released TypeScript 5.8, marking the latest version of its strongly typed superset of JavaScript, now available to the general public. This version brings a range of new features and improvements to the language. However, one feature that was initially introduced in the beta release — a limited form of checking for conditional types in return statements — was ultimately removed from the GA version. The TypeScript team has decided to revisit this functionality, with plans to include it in TypeScript 5.9. The general availability of TypeScript 5.8, announced on February 28, comes just a month after the…

Since 2018, the Java platform has maintained a consistent release schedule, delivering a new version every six months. True to this pattern, JDK 24 has now arrived, bringing with it an impressive 24 JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs). This marks the largest set of new features introduced in any release since the adoption of the time-based release cycle. However, not all 24 features are immediately available to developers, as some are preview features, incubator modules, or experimental. This article focuses on the most impactful additions for Java developers and those deploying Java applications. Among the most significant new features in JDK…
