WTF?

"what Oracle has worked hard to build and maintain, and in the process to destroy the value of the Java platform"

For a start, most of the work was nothing to do with Oracle, they bought Sun's stuff then have trolled it chasing Android.

As for destroying the platform value, I think the endless security holes in Java, slow patching, and the various problems of which specific JVMs will actually work for a given application have done that. Had Oracle managed to make Java what it promised, i.e. "write-once and run-everywhere, securely" then I might just be able to pull some sympathy from the depths of my arse. But they have not.
