    You mean the company that 100% open-sourced Java and made the open-source (same license as Linux) OpenJDK the reference implementation?

Java's price is your time which you will need tons of as Java is highly verbose. The ultimate enterprise language

      No amount of updates will wash away the stink of Oracle from Java.

        This is hn, where unless something is written in rust or zig usually, people will hate on it. They would rather pump a cli tool than any software of sizable scale.

      Can't exactly write Java 25 without updating your legacy application, can you? And it tends to be the oldest applications that are the hardest to update for some painful reason. Would be nice if we all could live on the bleeding edge all the time

    This is such a crappy point. People say it's better now but even in java 8 it's just BS. Oh boo hoo I have to write a few extra words here and there. Woe is me. The IDE will autogenerate the boilerplate for you, you don't even have to write it yourself. And once it's there it's actually useful, there's a reason it exists.
