Nothing touched by Oracle will be adopted, nor should it. It would be reckless and stupid. The risk to base your technology stack on such a plainly evil actor is just not worth it. Doesn't matter how many millions the investment was.


Your loss then.

Graal has an open source license, and all corporations are alike, regardless of what hippie developers think, showing to the man and such stuff.

Instead other language stacks will get adopted into detriment of Ruby, e.g. Go.

lol.

> You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

Sure! But there is nothing stopping Oracle from suing you inventing some insane reason like copyrighting APIs.
