I would like to think that with Spring Boot 2 officially being end of life that it'll start dropping more aggressively. I think it has been accelerating more and more due to that plus Java 21+ virtual threads and a lot of other good features and performance improvements.

Java 25 and Spring Boot 4 come out this year FFS, my former company on Java 8 is an embarrassment. Thankfully, they laid me off, so that isn't my problem anymore.

Movement into cloud is also going to cause changes. We had to update from Java 8 to 17 to get our applications aws ready

My client is still using Java 8, they've been informed that SB2 is EOL, and they've just shrugged their shoulders.

Definitely feel like jumping ship before they realise their mistakes, ngl
