    Interesting - my company largely maxing out at Java 9, I often forget about how far Java has come now that it’s working on v21 😳

      Gotta love how, despite Java receiving frequent updates, devs often have to stay in older versions if they want their stuff to work. GG oracle

        In my experience, Java has a lot fewer breaking changes with upgrades compared to other languages. Compared to Python or even PHP and Java looks slow, steady, and predictable.

        Except that keeping Java in a good shape is the thing Oracle is doing really, really well. There are plenty of open processes, discussion boards, votes, technical review processes and open contribution model, open source licence allowing anyone make own distro and contribute to OJDK easily.
