This reads a bit weirdly to me.
> Immediate Java 8 Migration Plans: 65% of Java developers have plans to upgrade to Java 8 within the next 24 months.
Er; "within the next 2 years" = "immediate"? That's a long-enough time scale that a lot of the respondents may be thinking "well, all our enterprise stuff is still on version 6, but surely my plans to overhaul everything won't take more than two years, will they?"
Also, 2800 is not actually a very high number, is it? Is that enough to be representative of Java developer intentions, preferences, etc.?
- daliusd 13y ago2800 is good number from statistical point of view IMHO. Google: sample size determination.
- taeric 13y agoI'm assuming that is a good number for a randomly sampled group. The self selection nature of people that will be taking a typesafe survey gives me doubts about whether it is good here.
- brazzy 13y agoBut also google: self-selection bias, which invalidates pretty much all online polls, including this one.
