82% users are still using Java 8, what does this mean for Java 10? __java

After the release of Java 10, many developers have voice: Java iterations are too fast, I still stay in the Java 5,6,7,8 ... it.

In this phenomenon, jaxenter a number of Java users surveyed, collected nearly 300 of feedback, and data collation. The results of the collated data show that the majority of respondents are still using Java 8 (82%). 8% of users are still using Java 9, while the Java 7 user accounts for 7%.

In fact, this result is not surprising, when the Java 9 release, we know that users must be a period of time to adapt. However, this has not yet begun to adapt, Java 10 has come again.

OpenJDK, Chairman of the Board of Directors and vice president of Oracle's Java platform Group Development, Georges Saab said last July that he expected JDK 9 users to develop at less than 8, but the user ratio would be comparable to other major previous versions.

Six months ago, Rebellabs concluded that Java 8 was the "Top man" of the 2017 major language rankings, followed by Java 7 or earlier, as well as other programming languages, such as Groovy,scala,javascript and Kotlin.

Red Hat's Mario Fusco provides a Java user's adaptation map:

Last month we also published a survey that showed that Java 9 is on the rise, with 62% of respondents expressing a desire to focus more on Java 9 in 2018, and only one-fifth of those surveyed said they were not interested in Java 9. Of those surveyed in Java 10 and 11, One-third expressed expectations.

In Jaxenter's survey, some users said that they had migrated personal items to Java 10, or have been used for some time, but also some users said that although they would like to update, but their customers did not keep up with the rhythm Ah, first observe a period of time bar ...

Now that Java 10 has been released, are you ready to migrate to the past?
