Does your statement apply to Java in general or just newer Java version? I often hear Java 8.0 or older is hated due to various reasons.

I have been a Java software engineer since 2017. When I first started we used Java 6. Now we mainly use Java 11.

Certainly Java has evolved. Before Java 8 it was a bit frustrating and not feature rich.

Java 8 was a huge development in my opinion. Then Java 11 is also a big step up.

Nowadays, Java 19 has some significant new features.

What I love about Java is the platform independence and the fact that it is maintained very well. People keep using it and keep supporting its development.
