How has type erasure changed in recent Java versions?

Type erasure in Java refers to the process by which the Java compiler removes generic type information after checking the code for type safety. Recent updates and evolutions in Java have influenced how type erasure interacts with generics, offering developers more flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility.

            // Type erasure occurs here: 
            // The ArrayList is treated as a raw type at runtime

                System.out.println(obj);
            }
