Looking Back to 2022 and Predictions for 2023 (#11)

Foojay.io, the Friends Of OpenJDK!

A few weeks ago, Ted Neward published a post in which he reviewed the predictions he made one year ago and added a long list of predictions for 2023. In this Foojay Podcast episode, we talk about these predictions, and we even found an analogy between what has happened at Twitter in the last months and the history of Java!
