    Nah, my company still uses Java but an open source version (Eclipse Temurin). We haven’t used Oracle Java in like 4 years.

      That’s great for as long as they allow that to exist. I do not have an army of lawyers, they do. I will not ever be using Java.

        In a hypothetical and highly unlikely world where everyone had to pay Oracle to use Java, everyone would switch to something else. It would be guaranteed suicide. Anyway, in that world, they would need to both make this ridiculous decision and win an unwinnable legal battle afterwards. It’s not a realistic concern.
