According to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/06/oracle_dueling_jvms/ there is a possibility that Oracle really will kill Java split Java into Free and Premium JVMs.

My Questions

  1. Do you think this will happen?
  2. Will this kill Java at the end?

If you answer both questions with Yes, what are you doing about it? Which language would you choose, and which platform will you use? .NET/Mono? Plain compiled languages like Golang? Ruby?

And if you answer No, why do you think Oracle will not harm Java and the community?
