Don’t be surprised if something similar doesn’t happen to Java after Oracle exhausts its appeals in its Java based suit against Google.

They have a winner-take-all mentality and they are not interested in collaborating. Proprietary product work will be done on WebLogic [Oracle’s proprietary Java application server], and there’ll be a proprietary microservices platform.”
