Why hasn't Java been tainted the same since Oracle bought Sun and now 100% controls Java's development? I am continuously surprised to see they continue to make major investments in the platform. Project Valhalla was started in 2014 and is still going strong. I keep waiting for Oracle to cancel all major Java improvements, then milk the remaining corpse.

It is possible to run a Java shop with zero Oracle-derived code, which may be why people are ok with actually using the Oracle JDK. My bet is this is a pitched battle inside Oracle, and the forces that keep it open have been winning...so far.
