I never thought of Java being the 'move fast ~and break things~' alternative over .NET, but Java has a faster release schedule to get features out sooner.

Seriously, how many are using always the latest releases of Java instead the LTS ones? With LTS ones you have ~2/3 years between the versions.

		We often use the latest version of Java at my work place. We haven't had any issues with upgrading, so there's no benefit of waiting for an LTS. There's no big process behind it either. The developer just quietly change the version as part of keeping the project up to date (BAU) It may be that we are shielded from edge cases because we are based on Spring, which is probably the most tested piece of software when it relates to new versions of Java. But it's my impression that the risk of upgrading to a new version of Java is not the same today as it was in the past.
