JEP 280: Indify String Concatenation [0]

This JEP proposed to change the static |String|-concatenation bytecode 
sequence generated by |javac| to use |invokedynamic| calls to JDK 
library functions. This will enable future optimizations of |String| 
concatenation without requiring further changes to the bytecode emitted 
by |javac|.

Early Access b104 <https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> for JDK 9 with Project 
Jigsaw is available on java.net.

Great to meet so many of you at FOSDEM this year,  videos of some of the 
presentations are available [1]

Rgds,Rory
