Oracle owns Java and has made its proprietary hold on the language clear.

There are no good guys here.

It's attitudes like this that made me choose C# as the language I wanted to use professionally after graduation.

Having grown up in the Slashdot era where people would be childish, post about Micro$oft, and parrot EEE, all while the .NET Foundation consistently put out great tooling with a mature community that actively wanted to help you learn the language/framework, the choice was simple.
