somewhere off in the distance i hear a familiar jingle: ‘3 billion strong… and growing’
Shoot, I got paid to write a brand new Java 8 application… in 2020
My team was just handed a Java 1.2 codebase, we are deploying it (mostly as is) to production next week.
Make sure you enable the right flags on the JVM, such as this one:


According to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html, Java 8 Extended Support will end in December 2030
The universe ends December 2030
With about 5 asterisks next to it, and indefinite sustaining support. I don’t think Java 8 is going to die even after the universe ends.
I miss SrGrafo…
