Until the 2014 release of Java 8, a common
complaint you heard from outside the Java
community was that Java, the language, had
stalled. The JVM, by comparison, was widely
admired. But even though the JVM supported
numerous languages (which we’ve covered individually
in this magazine over the last four years),
Java was still its principal language and, well,
that was getting long in the tooth. Many of us
knew this point of view was exaggerated. The Java
team had widely and frequently communicated
the innovations it was working on and the wave
of innovations that would be coming after those.
Java 8 indeed disarmed critics who had claimed
that Java wasn’t keeping up with other languages.
And the changes in Java 9 and 10, as well as the
upcoming Java 11, are demonstrating the torrid
pace at which new features will be delivered. Java
remains either the #1 or #2 most widely used language
(depending on whose statistics you’re looking
at), which shows how effective the new features
have been in keeping the language relevant,
useful, and practical.
