Blog post from Snyk
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) ecosystem has undergone significant changes in the past year, with a notable shift towards OpenJDK distributions. 36% of developers have switched from Oracle JDK to an alternate OpenJDK distribution over the last year. This trend is largely driven by the fact that 86% of respondents do not wish to pay for JDK support, and instead opt for free or open-source alternatives. The new release cadence of Java, with versions released every March and September, has also played a role in this shift. Additionally, Kotlin has become the second most popular language on the JVM, overtaking Scala and Clojure. Spring remains dominant in the Java ecosystem, with 60% of developers using it for their main applications. IntelliJ IDEA dominates the IDE market, with 62% adoption among JVM developers.
