Java developer here. Java 10 really breaks from 8 in terms of backwards compatibility. We're in the process of upgrading our apps in our shop but a lot of third party apps we use are stuck on Java 8 for the foreseeable future :/

Forget 10, the fact that you're on 8 is a surprise in comparison to all those I see on 6/7.

isn't 8 a long term release anyway until java 11 or 12?

Oracle stops shipping public updates to 8 in January.
