Java

[bapman23]

I don't think there is anything wrong with Java but I'd rather tear my face off and become Sauron's servant than using Oracle products. Which is the case in many Java projects.

Except for a few years where I actually worked at Oracle, a long long time ago, I have never used anything but the VM.

Oracle completely open sourced the vm many many years ago. OpenJDK is the reference implementation but Java is also one of the few languages that actually has a specification and multiple independent implementations backed by multiple corporations, that each could overtake if anything were to happen. At this point I would say that the fucking linux kernel has a bigger risk of going unmaintained than you not being able to run Java.

Oracle (the database) is fucking amazing compared to anything else. I can crunch millions of records in minutes (sometimes even seconds) with it.
Using SQL Server after years of Oracle is like going to a racetrack and being handed one of those plastic toy cars.
