Oracle Brews Java 23 For Just-In-Time Delivery
The Register, Tuesday, September 17th, 2024
Predictably paced programming language plods onward
Oracle on Tuesday released Java 23 (Oracle JDK 23), in keeping with its now well-established six-month cadence.
No one should be surprised by this because predictability is part of the plan. Enterprise customers with Java applications don't want to be surprised.
"We've been releasing like clockwork every six months, March and September," Chad Arimura, VP of Java developer relations at Oracle, told The Register. "And this has been going very smoothly and very well.
"And in fact, people who were initially very skeptical, as Georges [Saab, SVP of development for the Java platform group], likes to say, even people in his own engineering group were skeptical of this even being possible.
"We're seven years in and people, I mean, we commonly hear that this is the best thing that's happened to Java."
