Wow I can’t believe try with resources is so old! I’ve been working with Java for years and only learned this exists recently, I thought it must be relatively new. 14 years!

It was such a lifesaver for doing raw database stuff. The boilerplate for making sure Connection, PreparedStatement, ResultSet and so on were all released properly was a huge pain before that.
Despite it being available at the time I too didn’t learn it until much later. I really wish I had known.
