    My works over the years are accumulated on https://www.nayuki.io/ . Lately I finished writing a new PNG library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/png-library ), and now I'm revamping a DEFLATE library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/deflate-library-java ).
  • JEP draft: No longer require super() and this() to appear first in a constructor

    In the second constructor, the first call is Math.round(), followed by Foo(int).

    Having implemented most of the PNG specification from scratch in the past month, I agree with all of the features highlighted by the author in the article's introduction. Although there are some minor things I don't like, overall it is a very well-designed format that has minimal ambiguity and stands the test of time.

    You can find my modern Java PNG library at: https://www.nayuki.io/page/png-library , https://github.com/nayuki/PNG-library
