Well, we are running and further developing code written for Java 1.4 on Java 8 now. Zero problems.

I presume he's referring to android. Either that or he's referring to the village idiots who took Lombok to their codebase.

Lombok works perfectly with Java 8. Don't know why I am a "village idiot" for using it since a couple of years.

Android is a special case, though. That's just Google being incapable of accepting a ruling and making a deal with Oracle. Instead they are pouting like little princesses and secretly developing their Swift copycat language.
