   Honestly the sooner you can get off of Java the happier I think you'll be. Oracle has shown time and time again that they only care about making money off of Java and its trademarks and the community-be-damned.

      Just wondering, do you feel the same about the JVM or just Java-the-language?

         @infernalturtle @craigmaloney Minus #Oracle, Java's issues as a language are pretty much just the kind of verbose cruft that everything in the 'enterprise' market accumulates, combined with the slow-moving JCP process. One might imagine a gigantic brontosaurus taking a leisurely stroll.
         
         However, since Oracle is involved, imagine that brontosaurus has a dozen giant cobras sticking out of it Medusa-style, waiting to bite anyone who gets close enough.
