       @codewiz I think everyone’s response is going to be the same.  They turned everyone on to OpenJDK, no one should turn back. Interesting move though.

       @huddle Oracle's CEO seems to be a bit out of touch with developers, isn't he?

       @codewiz Perhaps she’s just looking at the financial side of it.  I know they lost some business over the last several years. The move to OpenJDK took a coordinated IT effort and wasn’t just us devs. They made enemies across the organization.

       @huddle Oh, I'm the one who's out of touch! Safra Catz is the current CEO, and Larry Ellison is CTO.Anyway... stay away from these greedy people.

       @Maryam Well, Oracle has acquired and then proceeded to fuck up all the open-source projects named in that comment.This behavior is reminiscent of Microsoft's old Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy, but with open-source projects there's always the option of forking:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29059528

       @Maryam In the case of the JDK, I couldn't care less,  but the brand confusion around OpenOffice vs LibreOffice and MySQL vs MariaDB has caused real harm to these projects.
