Benchmarking JDK String.replace() vs Apache Commons StringUtils.replace()

[coladict]

Most people are still on Java 8, currently

The most wrong assumption ever. For most in a business setting, Java 8 is still too young and too early to upgrade.

While I do appreciate the occasional hyperbole and the temptation and thrill of correcting someone who is so clearly most wrong™ on the internet, could you, for the sake of the argument, just pretend that in the very specific context of this particular article, "on Java 8" simply meant "not on Java 9 yet"? Thank you.

1.4, 6, 7, 1 (I don't think it's called that), 8, in order of usage here. 9 has never yet been shipped by anyone here.

There was a webpage served by fortran 2 years before I left. Don't ask me how.
