Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Java SE

Almost all LinkedIn applications are Java ones. I'm on the team that builds infrastructure for all Java applications, in terms of functionality and performance. I'm working on improving the performance of Java in our company. Java SE is what powers all of our code in production machines.
  • Good collection of libraries.
  • Easy to learn. High productivity for developers.
  • Good infrastructure support internally.
  • GC performance. Hope it will be much better with the new GC coming up in Java 11.
  • Difficulty of Migration. Migration to a new major version is particularly challenging.
  • Some of our applications are having struggles with GC so they switched to other JVMs.
We are also using Zing, and it shows better performance in general.
We don't run into many issues in general with Java SE.
