Thatās bad. 8 hasnāt been getting the essential security updates since march 2022. Of course money can buy a lot, but itās still a bad idea. Even the Dutch govern.e t has mostly made the transition and they are no known for their elasticity

Thatās not really true despite what Oracle claims. Even without dropping money for Oracleās 2030 support, thereās been 9 releases to OpenJDK 8 so far in 2024. Amazon has guaranteed OpenJDK 8 LTS through 2026 as ācorrettoā for justifying it to corporate compliance teams.
Everyone really should upgrade but itās going to be several years yet before itās an actual security risk.

So? If a Java dev wants to learn Rust, theyāll make it. There are a lot of burned out Java devs wanting to move to something that feels new and exciting again.
Nah, itās more of inaction on the companiesā part. There are so many reasons for that, but IMO it boils down to poor engineering culture.

Other features that were previewed in the Java Development Kit 22 release could also make it quite easily into the Java Development Kit 23 release. These include statements before super(ā¦), which would give developers greater freedom in expressing constructor behavior ā meaning string templates. This would make it easy to express strings that include values computed at run time ā meaning scoped values. This would enable sharing of immutable data within and across threads; and implicitly declared classes and instance main methods.

From the way Iām reading it, it sounds like a super() call in a constructor must be the first thing you do or something you donāt do? I never knew that was a thingā¦ Looking at my old java code, I havenāt written Java since I graduated, this does seem to line up?

Java is looking more and more cool.
Too bad companies are still stuck on Java 8š

which is why the world should just move to kotlin
just move to rust and be done with it :)
Seriously though, Java devs? Moving to Rust?
Whatās so surprising about that?
Java is a lot more high-level than Rust. Rust is even a different paradigm.
So? If a Java dev wants to learn Rust, theyāll make it. There are a lot of burned out Java devs wanting to move to something that feels new and exciting again.
But after evaluating the options, I think most would choose the easier language to learn.
Why is this? Did they introduce breaking changes to the language or something?
Nah, itās more of inaction on the companiesā part. There are so many reasons for that, but IMO it boils down to poor engineering culture.
is this ai generated or do i have secree-slexia?

Oh yeah, I remember now. That's definitely it.
