Negotiations Failed: How Oracle Killed Java EE
The Java ecosystem has been slowly dying for years, it&#x27;s already the new Cobol at this stage.<p>I have the impression that a lot of the mindshare has switched to the Node and Javascript ecosystem, especially the frontend devs, via the Typescript &#x2F; Angular path, which is a natural path to Java developers due to the comfort given by familiar concepts like static types, classes, etc.<p>When I used to do Java, I always found that Spring was a much better framework than Java EE, and have used it in most projects I&#x27;ve worked.<p>Oracle did not take a note from the Microsoft book and is really behaving that an evil corporate overlord.<p>It&#x27;s clear at this stage that they bought Sun in order to slowly turn Java proprietary, and charge billions to the companies that are now fully Java-based for the next few decades.<p>I&#x27;m glad I saw the writing on the wall and switched, but the problem is that Java is still being taught a lot at schools, and school programs especially universities are hard to adapt and only change every 4-5 years or so.
