Helidon 4.4 was released in April 2026 and stands out from other web frameworks by embracing new Java features as early as possible, particularly virtual threads and ahead-of-time computation. It is also aiming to become an OpenJDK project in the coming months.

In this "Input/Output" episode of the Inside Java Podcast, recorded during JavaOne 2026, Nicolai Parlog talks to Joe Di Pol, Lead Principal Platform Software Engineer at Oracle where he works on Helidon.

"Input/Output" is our new show, where we talk to people outside of OpenJDK to bring you their perspectives and insights into what's happening in the Java ecosystem.
