Java is also a lot of fun in this regard. They’ve actually dropped support for java 8 about 2.5 years ago. But Oracle has added a “premium subscription” that gives companies another decade or so of extra support to delay updating their code even further. https://endoflife.date/oracle-jdk
Isn’t java generally backwards compatible? I switch java versions willy nilly in my (small) projects and never really noticed any problems when upgrading the version
Yes sure, but not forwards compatible. That means if you need to fix a bug or add a feature in a project that is build on java 8, you cannot use language features from later versions. They are pretty important features at that, like a workable Http client, modules, container compatibility, records and enhanced switch statements. It is not fun to work like that, it’s what makes good programmers want to become chicken farmers.
oh, that’s a cool website

I’m so glad I never had to work with angular. Those constructs always disgusted me
Confusing syntax to replace confusing syntax, library dependencies that let you do nothing you couldn’t do without them. Generic solutions are always the best for specific problems, right?
Why yes! We need the kitchen sink there, just in case we ever need to use a kitchen sink!
What’s the argument for using Angular over other solutions? Let’s say you actually need a SPA.
To me at least angular makes a bit more sense than React’s way of doing things does. React tries to be functional with its components and yet it seems like they end up basically trying to mimic classes with useState and useEffect. To me Angular’s class-based approach makes a bit more sense (though I am primarily interested in backend development more than frontend so that could be why)
It does kind of fall into a lot of the traps of Object-Oriented programming though so I can see why a lot of people don’t like it

The old version, AngularJS, died. The newer Angular lives on, and I heard it’s a much better experience.
Come to v18, things are nice here.
But did it reach test or production environment yet? Or will it die in development environment.
Don’t come at me like that 😭
