The article makes no compelling points to me as an avid user of these applications.

I would rather shove ice picks covered in lemon juice than provide Java or Ellison anymore room in the digital ecosystem. And I’m not talking politics here wrt Ellison, just awful

Someone else on the page commented about Oracle. Why are there still people hung up on Oracle or Ellison when if anything, they've helped Java to thrive more.

The real threat has been and continues to be ... Google. They pulled a Microsoft move (that they got busted for) and Google got away with it. Google killed Eclipse as the IDE for Android development and threw that business over to their Russian buddies at JetBrains.

Google is the threat to Java, not Oracle.

I'm a progressive -- just as I am not dumping my climate friendlier Tesla at a loss because Musk is a Nazi buffoon, there is no way I am walking away from my GraalVM compiled babashka binary because another billionaire turd kicked Stephen Colbert off the tonight show. I can mourn and label both as petulant and stupid, without having to bleed my back like Saint Thomas More.
