The real scary part is how many of them are using Java 8 and older.

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I work for one of the unicorns of my country. 3/4 of the apps I maintain only work on java 8.

Legacy code op

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"Legacy code" Aka the fear of getting sued by Oracle for literal nonsense.

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago

More like "We don't know what it does or why it's there but it seems important so don't touch it"

Write once, run ~~anywhere~~ away.

It supports one of the best creative coding language, processing.

Here's another one: Companies depend on Adobe.

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Governments depend on Microsoft.

[–] bAZtARd@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Governments? Try critical infrastructure...

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

That is truly terrifying.

[–] Aiyub@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Off by 1 error

Usually these things are "or less". I see looking again that it wasn't actually said.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 3 points 2 years ago

That and: Companies are stuck with Adobe

[–] wols@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

That number is like 20 years old.

Today it's around 60 billion.

Spooky

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More like terrifying

[–] newIdentity -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

True

I have to program in Java at my work and I absolutely hate it

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What version of Java? 11 up is tolerable, modern Java is nice. Still see 8 in the wild though.

[–] newIdentity 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Java 20 mostly

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm surprised, I would love to work in Java 20. Do you have any particular pain points with it? Or is it just that you'd rather be using something else?

[–] nogrub@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

we programm sort algorithms in java right now and i can't really complain but i'm just a newbie

[–] newIdentity 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah. I just don't like Java

C# is better

[–] Immersive_Matthew 3 points 2 years ago

I really do love some of the blunt and often accurate but not always replies from ChatGPT. I legit like it’s personality if that is what we can call it. Can be down right sassy at times.
