Starting with Java 9 most Java version will only have a lifetime of 6 month. After this period no more updates will be provided for the version.
Then why should one use java if it becomes obsolete in 6 months? If you have only one application to keep up and running then it is ok but if you have an enterprise of tens or hundreds of components then you development costs will spiral out of control.
Also developers will say fuck you when you just release yet another java while they just learned the latest release.
Interesting topic! I started learning programming languages not long ago. Having read the article on https://diceus.com/java-developer-salary/, I found out all necessary things about Java developer salaries in different corners of the world. Also this post persuaded me to choose exactly Java for work. But I'm not sure I'll be ready to start a project with a commercial language that will become obsolete in 6 months. So, thanks for sharing this information, it is very useful for me!

Never think about the new developer, that way, we will become obsolete before cobol.
