- I’m guessing 1 out of 10 respondents didn’t understand the question. - Like that one dentist that doesn’t agree toothbrushes are good or whatever. 
 
- Time to bleed legacy companies dry. That’s all they can do at this stage. - Game over, man. Game over. - Any Bill Paxton reference is a good reference. 
 
- Openjdk works - deleted by creator 
 
- I’m on Linux and have a large variety of Javas to choose from. (Currently having 2 installed in parallel. Don’t remember ones name, but the other is Temurin.) Is it different on Windows? Why don’t they just switch? - All my private projects compile and run on both and even my favorite old Java game Spiral Knights works after some CLI parameter tweaking for modern JVMs. - There’s a large variety on Windows too, e.g. Temurin and Corretto are both available there 
 
- Why would you? This is probably the WORST Gum of them all! Mhmm spicy Cinnamon! Something I was craving all day! - I love it. It was my grandpa’s favorite too 
 
- I’ve been running my Minecraft client on Azul Zulu builds of the OpenJDK for years, just because I trust anyone else more than Oracle. - Of course my Minecraft server is running on Linux anyway, with the openjdk build from my distro. - Honestly I don’t know what differences there still are that would motivate companies to use Oracle JDK. I thought Oracle JDK and OpenJDK converged strongly a few years ago. 
- Can use Scala to gradually transition away from java - convert code module by module, interop just works, until eventually no java left, can then compile instead as js, native or even wasm (i recently tried this for my climate-system model which evolved from old java). Also, btw, made in europe, not big-tech, and scala3 looks more like python.
