According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/typesafe.com\/blog\/java-8-survey-results\" target=\"_blank\">survey in Typesafe<\/a>, 65% of developers who participated answered that they will be migrating to Java 8 in a 24 months plan, and from them 30% will try to migrate over the next 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>73% of developers who participated are currently working with Java 7, whereas there is a 22% part working still with Java 6. And from those working with Java 6, only 44% are planning to move straight to Java 8.<div style=\"display:inline-block; margin: 15px 0;\"> <div id=\"adngin-JavaCodeGeeks_incontent_video-0\" style=\"display:inline-block;\"><\/div> <\/div><\/p>\n<p>As far as Lamdas are concerned, this new feature of Java 8 is welcome by the Java community, since 83% of developers stated that the lambda expressions and virtual extension methods are the two new features most expected. Devs are also excited with concurency updates (16%) and the new Date and Time API (15%). 48% of devs believe that lambda injection will positively reinforce the adoption of Scala.<\/p>\n<p>Java Security has been the big problem where Oracle has focused, and was also the basic cause of the Java 8 release delay. Focusing on better securing the Java platform was the main reason for last year&#8217;s decision to delay shipment of Java 8.  Oracle seems to have focused on the major bugs, but after all a good job is done, since now an important 59% part of developers believe that these problems have been solved. Oracle has done a good job with the JVM front too, with 98% of users employing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Java 8 releasement countdown is starting, Java developers seem certainly ready to get involved.
