Meanwhile, Android still doesn't fully support java 8.
- _old_dude_ 6y ago> from the TFA, The end of life for Java 8 was supposed to be 2019 Nope, that the EOL of the free support of Oracle JDK 8. Currently, the OpenJDK 8 is maintained mostly by RedHat, so EOL of Java 8 is at least 2026 [1] [1] https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013 https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013
- pjmlp 6y agoMy schadenfreude regarding Android is that some Kotlin cool library on the JVM ends up requiring Java 8+ features and then all those #KotlinFirst heads on Android will finally get it why compatibility with newer versions is a must. However most likely what will happen is some fork to make it somehow work on Android, even if with less features.
