Java (programming language)

Java is good.

Its boilerplate requirement is a pain, but the design is otherwise very clean.

But its ecosystem sucks.

The development process is rather closed, the issue tracker obscure.

And above all, Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. killed everybody's trust in it once and for all. Thanks Oracle.

This ultimately determines which Java is used by a bunch of tools.

TODO is there a way to update it sanely in Ubuntu: askubuntu.com/questions/175514/how-to-set-java-home-for-java to always match the default java executable?
