Who's using JDK 9? I understand the JDK 8 bit - the breaking changes in large code bases are a big lift, especially in projects with no significant changes for years. However, if you're on 9, the lift is much lower and primarily on QE. Why stay on 9?
- sverhagen 3y agoFor large organizations it's also an organizational lift, plus their attraction to have all the latest goodies from the latest JVM versions is probably a little less, so a lot of the same inertia that existing in moving from 7 to 8 and from 8 to 9 is going to resurface for any migration, even if the actual breakages during the compilation step are less.
