If you are interested, the draft for the pattern matching can be found here: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8213076

If the final version ends up working as explained in the draft, it is going to be a fantastic addition to the language.

I just tried DDG for the first time, and I'm blown away how good it is! Since I'm mostly using search engines for programming, I searched for "clojure filter" on DDG out of curiosity. It gave me all the relevant documentation pages BUT here is the "blown away" part - it showed me a small Clojure code snippet on the right side of the screen, explaining the usages of the "filter" with a short and concise docstring. It also worked with Kotlin and Swift! I tried the same search query with !g prefix to google it, but left rather disappointed - it's just links to the documentation. As a programmer, this is a tipping point for me to completely ditch Google.

Very curious about this scenario - what about people who have a rent contract with "Staffelmiete" (meaning rent goes up by a "small" amount each year)? Does it mean this annual increase is now seen as invalid?

It's very accessible for everybody! The official documentation is excellent and covers you from a to z (UI, Networking, JSON serialization, etc). It gives you a strong foundation on which to base your application and exposes you to a few recommended application architectures (for example Redux and BLoC). If you're interested in mobile dev, it's definitely worth giving it a try :)
