  it’s still one of the most popular programming platforms in the
  world.  What’s the secret behind Java’s ongoing success?  What
  does the future hold, and who gets to decide what that future
  will look like?

NOTE: This is an updated version of a similar talk that I presented
      at the OpenJDK Committers’ Workshop in August, 2018.  I expect
      that it will be of interest here since there will be relatively
      little overlap between this audience and those who attended
      the August Workshop.
