It seems fitting. They destroyed Sun, destroyed Java, destroyed any developer or customer goodwill...and now they are destroying themselves.

Java is one thing they did right. Most enterprises are looking to move away from Oracle. I think there will be niche cases where rewrites don’t make sense. But for one of the big telecom providers I work for - the decision was made in 2020 to move off of Oracle. It’s not a flash cut but we’ve significantly reduced reliance. There are some critical apps that are still on it, but those are capped in maintenance mode until their replacements are ready.

Java is in the best shape it's ever been in. Jdk development and performance are through the roof and the developer experiences gets better with every release.

Destroyed Java? What are you even on, lol? Oracle resurrected Java.

The idea that Java has been destroyed is pretty wild. I don't see how that belief could survive contact with the real world.
