I asked the audience (~120 people) about the newest Java version they run in production - results: Java ≤ 6: 0 Java 7: 1 (not %) 🫠 Java 8: ~15% 😶🌫️ Java 11: ~60% 🫡 Java 17: ~25% 🥹 Java 18: 0 🫣 The last one stings, but other than that, these are great numbers!
Forgot to let you know about the slides - here they are, garnished with the view from my hotel room. 🤩 Good bye, Paris! 👋 slides.nipafx.dev/java-next/2022…
@nipafx Here is the recent 18 days statistics of download number of our domestic JDK mirror site 11 & 18 are the most downloaded version of JDK
@nipafx Now that you mention it, there was not a single customer(Mid-Caps) I worked with that ever used a non-LTS version of Java in production or discussed features/changes of such releases. Only LTS versions were on the radar since the new cadence. My sample size is tiny, of course🙃
