To me it's potentially worse than another programming language. I
wouldn't learn a language owned by Microsoft, why would I learn one
owned by Sun? (or have they changed it so that it's handled by an
independent organization?)
Caveat: I haven't looked in to this issue carefully because I've never
had a need to, but if I were considering learning Java and doing
something significant in it, I'd put some serious scrutiny into how
the language is defined and controlled. If it's such that Sun can
keep the language from evolving and improving whenever those
improvements negatively impact their stockholders, then I'd be very
unlikely to be interested.
