And it'll be another 5 years before JDK21 becomes a widespread target for production and then another 5 years for the new features to be accepted in code reviews. Culture changes slowly.
- heelix 3y agoThink SpringBoot might just change that. Folks are scrambling to move to 3.x, with 2.7.x hitting public EOL this November. With SpringBoot 3 requiring Java 17 at a minimum and Java 21 coming out this fall, I suspect our shop will see many people just move to the latest LTS when it is available.
- dikei 3y agoI think it'll be much faster this time around. We took way less time to move from Java 11 to 17 compare to the 8 -> 11 migration due to the change in deployment methods: instead of deploying jar file and run it with the server-provided JRE, we now use docker to ship our app + JRE to server.
