Say that to enterprise software systems still running on Java 7 or 8 without any clear path to upgrade because their whole systems will break.
- kaba0 3y agoIt’s almost like there is even a CS law for this exact scenario.. but Java 8 will be around and will still work 10 years from now, plus it is not an insurmountable task to bump it up to the latest version at all. Tell me literally any platform that has a better backwards compatibility story, because honest to God there is simply absolutely none.
- romanovcode 3y agoJava 8 will be out of support in 7 years. It might seem like a lot but for enterprise systems it's nothing.
- kaba0 3y agoWhich gives you a lifetime support of 16 years for a single version, with an absolutely sane and doable upgrade path.
