Java 11 Programming for Beginners 2.6: Diving into Local Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters and Low Overhead GC

The video tutorial introduces new features in programming, focusing on creating lambdas and using the new 'var' keyword for lambda parameter declaration. It explores the benefits of low overhead garbage collection (GC) and demonstrates high-performance tuning. The tutorial showcases a functional interface for lambda usage, including currency formatting. It highlights the convenience of the 'var' keyword, allowing annotations without strong typing. The video compares Epsilon GC with normal GC, emphasizing performance differences. Finally, it previews the next section on creating a Slack bot using object-oriented programming concepts.
