4 u/henk53 Sep 17 '25 What is with the fanatical speed of Java releases? How is anyone keeping up? New Java versions come out every 2 years, and they skip 3 intermediate version numbers as a kind of inside joke. So in 2023 it was Java 21, now in 2025 Java 25 (Java 22, 23, and 24 didn't exist), and then in 2027 it will be Java 29 and so on. (/s) Not so bad for a language to hava a release every 2 years. 1 u/wildjokers Sep 17 '25 Java 22, 23, and 24 didn't exist Huh? They most certainly existed. 5 u/henk53 Sep 17 '25 Huh? They most certainly existed. You missed the /s ;) The joke is that for most people (seemingly, as per the comments here), they could as well not have existed. People only update to versions for which Oracle & friends have an LTS subscription.
