Oh, they will sure pay for this.
Expect a great many statements 'oh, by the way. _our_ APIs are not subject to
copyright, and fully free to use' by anyone else (except maybe Microsoft and
Mono).
Java had its day in the sun (and I'm amazed how well it has worked out, being
the resource hog it is). Others have pointed out that OOP has moved on. Time to
let go. If the Java train wreck includes relational databases as a collateral
(getting programmers to seriously think about current alternatives), it will
have been worth it.
Legacy code in Java will still keep on running. Just like legacy Cobol and
FORTRAN code still does. Doesn't mean I'd pick these languages for any new
project today. Java will be forgotten in the same way these were (Real
Programmers never fully forget. Real Programmers code in FORTRAN, regardless of
the language. Wimps will keep coding in Java, regardless of language).
The real action will hopefully be elsewhere. The writing has been on the wall
for some time. Nothing really to see here, please move on.
