New submitter liveedu shares with us a report from InfoWorld: When Java 8 was released two years ago, the community graciously accepted it, seeing it as a huge step toward making Java better.

Java is one of the most searched programming languages according to TIOBE index for July 2016, where Java ranks number one.

You can view the entire list of changes made to the programming language here.
