alt Hacker News>> Oracle are doing versions at approximately twice the cadence.
This has nothing to do with Oracle. All good that you hear from Java in the last few years, is the great community and good old people from Sun working at Oracle.

“The good old people from Sun working at Oracle” is now Oracle as well.
Someone doesn't know their Java history. Oracle bought Java 16 years ago in 2010. At that time Sun had been working on Java 7 for over 4 years with no release date in sight. Oracle trimmed the fat and released Java 7 in less than a year. And since then has kept a regular release cadence. Sun would probably still be working on Java 7.
