Good to know. This lack of surprises is one of Java's better features. I'm 
still running code that was written for Java 1.4 and that has never needed 
to be modified since it was written.

Unlike some other languages it never seems to obsolete any syntax, and so 
by and large, its as easy to recompile with a later compiler as C. 

This is quite unlike, e.g. COBOL, though in fairness the much of the stuff 
that language obsoleted deserved to die, e.g the ALTER verb, which allowed 
a program to modify its own logic paths by changing the destination of a 
GO TO statement.
