I am the only one that has been thinking for months now that &quot;modern&quot; is the most over used, pointless, and almost negatively connotative word in this industry? Thought exercise: Imagine the ugliest flat and incomprehensible UI widget you have seen lately, the most bloated website load that doesn&#x27;t crash the browser, and some mindless office dialog about &quot;rising cloud costs&quot;. Now pick one word. Survey says - you guessed it. So most certainly, if you need to be more &quot;modern&quot;, I&#x27;m sure java 8 is a vehicle to take you there.
