Oracle probably doesn't have a great product story for Java and the JVM to sell to investors so losing direct interest isn't surprising, but given its close integration with many of their ecosystems as long as they continue to put a dozen awesome engineers into advancing the JVM and Java ecoysystem we all still win.

Other languages targeting the JVM such as Clojure, Scala, JRuby continue to gain traction so its all good.
