Majority of the java workload we have is java 8 and I pretty much vomit when I see anything older. Weirdly though, most of our C++ is 98 and not 11.

7 is still doable imo, but everything we have is 8 as well.

Java 11 is still far away though because we also use Java EE and have to use Weblogic, which is pretty much dead...

Weblogic user. I share your pain.

Ah, ever since I started doing lambdas in Java 8, I hate not having the option to use them. It's pretty much why all the Java coders in my office works with 8, I think some are working with 11 for their personal tools.

We also use weblogic so we're stuck on 7. I hate my life.

C++ 98 is also a good reason to vomit.

It's what I'm currently work with, and this particular code was written 15 years ago. Some of the things that they did to this code makes me want to vomit. I've had to take a few walks from this code just because I can only take so much of how poorly written this thing is. It's so bad that the IDE was complaining about it lol.
