I think Java took it too far. If they'd innovated at even 1/2 the rate of C#, I think they wouldn't have lost as much mind share. But of course, I'm sure Oracle is a big reason too.

Oracle is all the hate, but when it comes to java, Oracle really got the show rolling again. Prior to Oracle, little happened. After Oracle, a lot is happening.

  Oracle haters seem to disregard that Oracle was the only company bothering to actually make an offer and keep it, without that offer, everyone would be busy maintaining Java 6 codebases, or porting code to something else.
