Interesting but I would be reluctant to touch anything controlled by Oracle. They don't have a good track record of treating developers nicely. E.g. trying to claim copyrights on APIs. Or, recent Java licensing changes. Bit like sticking your hand in a lawn mower, IMHO.

Amazon, IBM, Red-Hat, SAP, Microsoft, Azul, Alibaba, Twitter, Azul, PTC, Aicas, microEJ are doing perfectly fine.

The day will come for Google's J++.

It's not like what Google did with "java" on Android was good for developers OR for Java. It's amazing that they don't also look like bad guys here. I get why Oracle gets ill will, I don't understand why Google gets good will.
