Negotiations Failed: How Oracle Killed Java EE
The Java ecosystem has been slowly dying for years, it's already the new Cobol at this stage.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 / Angular path, which is a natural path to Java developers due to the comfort given by familiar concepts like static types, classes, etc.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've worked.Oracle did not take a note from the Microsoft book and is really behaving that an evil corporate overlord.It'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.I'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.
