I happened to be listening to 'American Pie' and couldn't help but
feel it felt oddly appropriate for Java.

The day Java died being the day Oracle bought them.


A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that Java used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those bytecodes dance
And, maybe, the users would be happy for a while.

But April 20th made me shiver
With every RSS feed that was delivered.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn't increment one more step.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day Java died.

So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my IDE to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were writing whiskey() and rye()
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that Java died."
