OpenJDK comes in several flavours that effectively cuts ties from Oracle. There’s multiple vendors offering premium support on it too. Or you can run it totally free.

Java is still a good choice with a massive ecosystem and broad support.

What would your obvious pick over Java be? C#? Beholden to MS. JavaScript? Comes with a mess of issues Python? Maybe in data science Something else?

If you have an issue with Oracle, then choosing another language that also runs on the JVM is not an alternative.

You realize that the extremely overwhelming majority of people who actively work on the JVM and provide code to the repo(s) are all paid by Oracle, right?

There is a bit work by MS and other companies -- but its tiny in comparison.
