And in May 2015, I ran a survey that puts that number at 38%.

而在2015年5月，我进行了一项调查，认为这个数字为38%。

3. Conclusion

3.结论

Java 9 is coming out a year from now, and Java 8 is clearly no longer new, having been out for two years at this point.

Java 9将在一年后问世，而Java 8显然已不再是新事物，此时已经问世两年了。

And the high adoption numbers (on a 2000+ sample size) definitely show a strong trend in the broader ecosystem to jump in and use Java 8 more than we saw before with Java 7.

而高采用率的数字（在2000多个样本中）肯定显示了在更广泛的生态系统中，有一个强大的趋势，即比我们之前看到的Java 7更多地加入和使用Java 8。
