Only 2% [0] of runtimes are on Java 7. There is a large majority on 8 still and 45% are running Java 17. That being said Java 8 is still less verbose than Go. The number of lines needed to do basic programming like iterating collections or error handling is a magnitude larger in Go.
You’re basing your opinion on your feelings rather than objective facts of being in the ecosystem. Yes you may have to import BiFunction but that isn’t anymore verbose than having to write:
func(a A, b B) C

- xyproto 2y agoJetBrains earns money on selling Java-related products. They are a very biased source.
- gf000 2y agoSo you believe that everyone is running java 7 or what is it you even disagree with? Also, Oracle employees have many statistics available, and they routinely say that Java 8 is no longer the most used version.
- vips7L 2y agoYes they totally have a bias to manipulate user submitted results to show that more people are running new versions of Java than old ones. Please.
