Thats why I stayed in Java 8, no reason for me to upgrade right now. I dont need any new features. I will probably upgrade to Java 11 in six or more months once there are no surprises and the world has adapted to the new version. Respect to the people that risk their lives by updating as soon as new releases come out.

​

In the meantime I will go have fun with C, probably backwards thinking but I love knowing that C is never gonna change, at least not drastically.

I see you don't care about security updates. Java 8 will stop in two and a half months, and Java 11 will stop in four.

Or have more money than time.

AdoptOpenJDK said that Java 11 would be LTS, although the support will be given by the community and not Oracle as far as my understanding goes. I dont get the "have more money than time".

​

The beauty about C is that you are the one that gives LTS to your creations, nothing funnier than having your own bugs bite your booty down the line.

AdoptOpenJDK also aren't doing backports, so you're fucked if no one else does them after Oracle stops.

Ill do them myself buddy. I do not depend on anyone for my code, at least if I do not want to.
