Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Java SE
Java is used in most projects I was involved in the last 20 years. It definitely had its ups and downs but is always here as a very solid foundation for any project. Performance and reliability are certainly the 2 qualities I think about Java now. The Oracle variation is probably not my favorite, but this is more personal than fact-backed.
- Reliable
- Consistent
- Performant
- Safe
- Slow evolution
- Some concepts are not straight forward
- Easy to find developers.
- Easy to build reusable libraries.
- Sets a definitely appreciated standard.
- Roadmap a little tumultuous and not easy to follow.
- OpenJDK and OpenJ9
Did not do a product comparison, but Oracle licensing may force some of my customers to get to other variations.
