This has nothing to do with Oracle. All good that you hear from Java in the last few years, is the great community and good old people from Sun working at Oracle.
- grodriguez100 1mo ago“The good old people from Sun working at Oracle” is now Oracle as well.
- GrumpyGoblin 1mo agoSomeone doesn't know their Java history. Oracle bought Java 16 years ago in 2010. At that time Sun had been working on Java 7 for over 4 years with no release date in sight. Oracle trimmed the fat and released Java 7 in less than a year. And since then has kept a regular release cadence. Sun would probably still be working on Java 7.
- Romario77 1mo agoit wasn't about Oracle trimming the fat. Java 8 took 3 years to release and then Java 9 another 3 years. They had to commit to half a year release cycles and LTRs every 2 years. Since then the releases became a lot more predictable. Whatever is not ready is not released (or is there as a preview feature). This more agile approach is a lot better in my experience and we see that the changes made are more relevant and what people actually want.
