Google did such a good job implementating Java that to this day there are still compatibility issues with standard Java, the library is incomplete and not all features of a standard JVM are available in ART.

They just broke Java the same way as Microsoft tried first, but since its the "Do no evil" company it gets a free pass.

Had it been other company and the Google support team would have another opinion.

I care about companies that care about Java, not those that fork the eco-system.

There are several companies playing by the rules, selling JVM implementations since the Sun days, none of them ever had issues either with Sun or Oracle.

Again the main point of my post was the FUD about Oracle and opensource is not base on nothing. Oracle's past actions toward open source shows this. You're welcome to disagree with counter argument, I would like to learn and be wrong if I am wrong (or missing something).

But I failed to see how your personal opinion on fork on java and ecosystem have to do with my original post on Oracle's FUD and past action against open source.

If none of your cases you've bought in this argument/debate is toward this topic then I think you're pushing a narrative and being dogmatic toward Java. I have no beef against the language but I am wary of Oracle. I'm merely refuting/adding toward the comment of the post I'm replying to.

Fair enough, although had IBM bought Sun instead, as no other company cared to do an offer, I doubt that they wouldn't have done exactly the same thing towards Google.
