I think there is an increasing number of Enterprise planning to move direct from JDK 8 to the latest LTS JDK 21. You get insane amount of improvement just from the JVM alone.
It is sad you dont often hear about any of these on HN. C#/ .Net, Java / JDK, PHP, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, or anything older, boring technology that is getting steady improvement, production usage, boring and never getting the upvote to get on main page for discussions. Everyone is chasing new hype and new JS front end.

- garganzol 2y agoDo not get fooled, HN tends to artificially distort our perception of reality by manually ranking and de-ranking topics according to political and monetary agendas of the day. A very good example of that malignant practice is this very topic which was manually de-ranked. Those narratives are pushed by the resource owners whose wellbeing depends on disruption and hype. But stability is an enemy of disruption, and delivered functionality is the enemy of hype. So they have no choice but to de-rank the topics like that, otherwise they lose power because everybody starts to see what is hidden behind the mask.
