JDK 9 is less than three weeks away at the time of the writing and one of the burning questions is whether it has been worth the wait. "I see you shiver with antici..."

Quote: “I have an opinion against migrating because writing code is hard enough. You have to have the right reasons to migrate and so migrating for the sake of just going to 9 would be kind of silly,” said Madrid. The conditions [under which] I would want to use 9 is do I have free range on implementation [and whether] the things I like about Java such as Spring and OS support are ready for 9. I think there’s some level of soaking that 9 needs to have before it’s adopted by a larger community like any new technology, but I think it will be well-received.”
Here's my counter argument for starting migration planning sooner rather than later because it's apparently going to be a lot of work. Eventually Java8 will go out of support and if your app doesn't run on Java9 you'll be running on a JVM with an ever growing list of foreverday vulnerabilities.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I wonder how many people will get that reference.
Well the first thing you know ol Pichai's a millionaire,

So they loaded up the data servers and they moved to Silicon Valley

In Visual Studio 2017 15.4 you can now target Linux from your CMake projects. This enables you to work on your existing code base that uses CMake as your build solution without having to convert it to a VS project. If your code base is cross-platform you can target both Windows and Linux from within Visual Studio. That article's title just seems so wrong

Last week we announced the exciting news that Windows Console has a new default color scheme, and also promised you that we would release a tool to make it easier to change the console to your desired scheme. The Windows Console team is proud to present 'Colortool' which will give you this functionality!
Just in time for Windows to deprecate the command prompt in favour of PowerShell!

Are you really still expecting that they act with logic?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Well, some internal consistency would be nice!

It's hilarious how you've pointed out that they're moving away from command-line but then releasing new tools to enhance the console window.
EDIT
Now that I think about it, maybe this is the new GUI -- it's a colorized TUI (text-based user interface).

Whoever made this feature part of the current development cycle should be shot !
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it.
