Java: To Infinity and Beyond
summary
Java claims a massive installed base with 12–20 million Java developers and a community structure that includes the first Java user group 1997 New York plus hundreds of SIGs and 400+ Java Champions. Historical pivot: Java targets devices since Java 1 in 1996. Concrete caution: teams that replace collaboration with LLMs see breakdowns — one four‑person team lost communication after heavy LLM use and experienced AI hallucination causing team breakdown. Advice given: move thoughtfully and validate AI outputs.
