What do you think about the "post-Java 8" versions? - Percent - 07-18-2018
I do not really care too much for the new Java versions, and am just sticking to Java 8 for now. What do you guys think?

Sticking with the latest version is always the thing.

To each their own.
What do you like about Java 9 and above?

I shall quote @"Mr.Kurd".
Given he's a huge Java fan, I have no doubt he'll post some Interesting views.

I thought that sticking with the latest version was your thing...?

Yes for sure but, since you've mentioned the latest, it all depends if java9 is out or so. (Haven't personally checked.)

Java 9 has been out for almost a year. "Java 10" and even "Java 11" are also already released (the versioning and releasing scheme by Oracle has changed after Java 9).
RE: What do you think about the "post-Java 8" versions? - Mr.Kurd - 07-20-2018
I'm still using Java8, Java9 and 10 were scheduled to be just a short-term release. The upcoming JDK 11 will be a long-term support (LTS) version of Java. so will wait JDK 11.
But I like new improvement in JDK10 like:
1- You can use new non-volatile RAM.
2- Local-Variable Type Inference (var stream = list.stream(); // infers Stream<String>)
3- Application Class-Data Sharing (It allows you to reduce launch times, response time outliers, and, if you run several JVMs on the same machine, memory footprint.)
4- You can now stop an individual thread. (Can be used to establish trust in the certificate chains employed in various security protocols.)
In JDK 11:
1- Lunching a single file source: in example java hello.java (https://sinister.ly/Thread-Tutorial-Writing-Compiling-Executing-in-Java-without-IDE) it will reduce time.
2- They will remove Cobra module which is large in Size and no one using this module.
3- Supporting Unicode 9 and 10.
4-They made change to API one of changes I liked with Files class: String File.read(path)
Path File.write(path, string)
But beside that what makes me sad is the support of JDK 8 will finish by 2019/1. This forces Java Coders move to JDK 11. one more negative point which will start with JDK 11 is JavaFX will not bundled.
Sorry for being late to reply, @"mothered" wanted to read about each of them before talking about this topic, because of my education I wasn't aware of changes recently.

No problem at all.
I appreciate your In depth feedback.
