Oracle has done wonders for Java. It has kept it from languishing like it was under Sun. Most of this just sounds like complaints from someone who doesn't know the ecosystem and doesn't want to learn it. Someone who thinks your choice of IDE matters for a project, when in fact it doesn't. > Keeping massive amounts of notes because I'm sure in two weeks I'm going to forget which arcane command I need to keep my Java build environment working. gradle build mvn package > Having to work out which Java runtime environment I need Do you not have to figure out which version of .net core, .net framework, .net whatever for each project? > Having to register on the Oracle website to download their runtime, brew install openjdk@<YOUR_VERSION> > I can get a new engineer setup to write and deploy .Net in minutes Here's what I do, and it takes 3 minutes: my_package_manager install openjdk_version_i_need my_package_manager install maven my_package_manager install vscode code --install-extension vscjava.vscode-java-pack code /path/to/the/project > recommended one is again verbose, ugly, and more complex to write and understand than Tasks and Async in .Net. This is probably your only valid criticism until Loom is launched.
