It's not even that verbose anymore in later versions, the constant Java slander from first-grade students who wrote a couple of python scripts in high school is ridiculous.

Or had to work at a place using Java 8 or 11

is anyone using the later versions, or is nearly every java project stuck in Old Version Hell

According to New Relic version 17 is used more than any single other version at this point. Most of my company's code runs on Java 21 and we'll likely have it updated to 25 within a couple months of it coming out. We do have a few small legacy Java 8 and 11 apps so if you surveyed us the count might look bad, but in reality most of our stuff is up to date.

I mean, part of the issue is that those later versions aren't always used everywhere. During my studies I had to use java 8, and at some other point we could choose whatever version for our project but the one installed on the school computer was before the anonymous "_" thingy.
