There have been a lot of really interesting developments in Java over the past few years, however I'm reluctant to actually build anything on the language because of the company attached to it. I don't think I've ever read about anything coming from Oracle which wasn't on-the-surface bad or something that at least makes me side eye them.

They build on fear/hate of Oracle, without any news content. Feel free to play with the language, it has improved a lot and the ecosystem around the whole platform is absolutely flourishing. Even if Java - the language - itself is not your thing, there are many high quality JVM languages that can make use of the fantastic ecosystem.
