The report on the Java ecosystem reveals that Java remains a dominant programming language across various industries, though assessing its market status is complex due to its widespread use. Java 8 continues to be the most used version, with Java 11 gaining traction, while non-Oracle vendors like AdoptOpenJDK are increasingly popular. Despite the evolution of garbage collection algorithms, the CMS collector remains favored over others in specific Java versions. Interestingly, the community still uses smaller heap sizes, and many Java virtual machines retain outdated or redundant configurations. The data, though not exhaustive, offers a snapshot of trends and behaviors within the Java community, aiming to contribute to ongoing discussions about Java's future trajectory. The insights are derived from anonymized data collected from millions of JVMs monitored by New Relic, acknowledging potential biases and the influence of localized trends.
