Most Jvm shops/devs I know are still on 11



That's the problem isn't it ? The Java of 8+ years ago is always compared to the Rust/Go/Python of today. (I am also guilty of this)


Upgrading from 11 is trivial though and we are at almost 24. The hardest was 8->9, or 9->11.


And many folks still code in C89, C99, C++98, Python 2, .NET Framework....

Language is not to blame for unwillingness to move forward.
