Send me all your #java language thoughts.

@musicman I don't really have any #Java language thoughts. In the late #1990s and early #2000s, I enjoyed the courses I took which used Java (and also the courses which used C++, #Perl, #PHP; but I disliked #JavaScript, and really disliked #VBScript and #VB 5 / 6). But especially since taking this job 15 years ago, I've barely touched it.

@musicman Here's a #Java language thought. In general, many of the complexity and boilerplate issues associated with the language could be worked around, but one issue cannot: The language is owned and controlled by Oracle.
It may be a fruitful field for several more years, but eventually, ORCL will extract every possible drop of profit out of the language and its ecosystem, bankrupting their paying customers and almost everyone else.
Both ASF (Apache Software Foundation) and Eclipse Foundation are in the line of fire and are likely to become casualties.

The EF worked very closely with Oracle during the Jakarta situation, so I suspect ED is fine

@musicman ED? Enterprise Deployment?

typo. Was supposed to be EF again.
