If recent surveys are to be believed (including DZone readers, see page 3), most developers are still using Java 8 for the majority of their application. Before Java 8, uptake of a new version of Java was quite slow, particularly in enterprises where it can be difficult to get a new version of Java accepted for production. Java 8, with the introduction of lambda expressions and streams, was an appealing choice for many developers. The adoption of microservices, continuous delivery practices, and better-automated testing also makes it easier to use a new version of a language with far less risk than in the past.
