+# Wrap-up
+
+
+
+
+
+In this hands-on lab, you have used Helidon on the Oracle Cloud to explore some new Java features.
+
+
+Given the time constraints and the remote aspect, we did not have the opportunity to necessarily go very deep and cover all the details. Moreover, we had to make a selection and skip some other important new features. For example, we didn't discuss the different Project Panama related APIs present in JDK 16. Covering those at a very high-level would require another 2h at the very minimum!
+
+In a nutshell, there are 3 Panama related APIs in JDK 16:
+- The [Vector API](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/338), which enables to easily express vector operations that will be compiled at runtime to be executed on a CPU Vector unit.
+- The [Foreign Memory Access API](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/393), which enables to access safely and efficiently native memory from Java.
+- The [Foreign Linker API](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/389), which allows invoking safely native code from Java code.
+
+We haven't discussed the new Unix-domain Socket Channels support (see here for a [good overview](https://inside.java/2021/02/03/jep380-unix-domain-sockets-channels/)) nor other other underlying improvements such as, for example, the new [ZGC Concurrent Thread-Stack Processing](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/376) which enables sub-milliseconds ZGC pause time. We didn't cover the fact that OpenJDK is now entirely developed using Git on GitHub (see [http://github.com/openjdk/jdk](http://github.com/openjdk/jdk)). We haven't touched any of the security related enhancements, etc. Each Java release comes with a set of new features, with a lot of various enhancements, and Java 16 is not an exception! 
+
+Today, you have used Helidon simply because it's small, fast, and un-intrusive but there was nothing specific to Helidon. All the features discussed in this lab will work with any frameworks or libraries that support Java 16 (ex. Micronaut).
+
+We hope you have learned something today. The call to action is to download Java 16 right after this lab, and continue your exploration!
+
+For more information on Java 16, and on the Java platform in general, we encourage you to regularly check [Inside Java](https://inside.java), and to follow [@Java](https://twitter.com/java) on Twitter. Moreover, you might also want to listen to the [Inside Java Podcast](https://inside.java/podcast).
+
+
+PS: Do not forget that you now have access to the [Oracle Cloud Free Tier (Always Free)](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/)!
