the article seems to be mainly about Go, but iirc Amazon now employs most of the Rust steering committee, so much so that there was an ex contributor complaining about it a while ago. Java used to be backed by Sun Microsystems, but now it's really open source. Nowadays (iirc) Oracle and Red Hat are the main contributors.

    You can point me at that... and Google still got sued. As long as Oracle is involved as much as they are. Java is a dangerous language, in a legal sense.
