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!
