Will you be at Devoxx UK?

That’s interesting. I don’t think I’m citing TIOBE in any way that will make people change their minds about what language to use, and that certainly wasn’t my intention.

I just find it interesting even if it’s not let’s say, 100% scientifically accurate :)

He’s too sensationalist now for me to watch. Maybe that’s a skill issue on my part.

Yes, I wasn’t expecting that but modern Java is getting more Kotlin type features so maybe that’s another reason?

Yes. I’m running v4.38.0 on Silicon.
