Someone else on the page commented about Oracle. Why are there still people hung up on Oracle or Ellison when if anything, they've helped Java to thrive more.

The real threat has been and continues to be ... Google. They pulled a Microsoft move (that they got busted for) and Google got away with it. Google killed Eclipse as the IDE for Android development and threw that business over to their Russian buddies at JetBrains.

Google is the threat to Java, not Oracle.
