>Even Java started to lose momentum after Oracle acquired it.

I sometimes wonder how much would it take to buy back Java from Oracle. Basically to buy back the Trademark, TCK and the official stewardship. ( Although I have to admit they are doing a pretty good job so far with Java )



I wish this would be done at some point. So Java could be popular again somehow...

Problem is Java is open source , and companies like Google , Amazon , Redhat have their own JVM implementations... So it’s not so much an issue.

In fact it’s the opposite , having to acquire something as big as Java comes with huge responsabilities to maintain it and make it evolve.

Hence these days , Rust and Golang really got popular , it wouldn’t make sense for anyone to buy back Java...


Android's java ius not a real java implementation.

Use kotlin instead!
