JS/V8 is particularly impressive. I wonder how far we are from the theoretical performance limit on the software side?
I would guess we will eventually see deprecations of warts to improve engine performance further. Or integrated type system etc.
It's not clear to me, why does the world needs another JDK? What does this offer that currently isn't out there?

Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's my preferred one, the 'mystery meat' scandal that hit adoptopenjdk showed me the importance of accountability. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19955958
The link you provided talk about an issue with Docker's openjdk image which has nothing to do with adoptopenjdk (now Adoptium Temurin).
NEVERTHELESS, software supply chain is important. Whatever JVM one chooses should have a good answer to how they handle it.

It's not another JDK, its Amazon build of the OpenJDK, like Azul has been doing for a few years.
I thought Azul was a bit more customised around the gc, so not quite the same JVM?

Friendly reminder that if you install virtualbox with guest services at work, Oracle lawyers will eventually demand a huge sum from your company.

That article is just fud. OpenJDK any version is free to use for whatever reason, period. If you use OracleJDK (which is pretty identical so unless you need support, go with OpenJDK), then you previously had to pay, but Oracle recently made the last version of it free to use. I mean, it really can’t get easier and freer. It is the same model as with Red Hat linux and fedora, hell, it is even more permissive as you ca…

For those asking, it's about the "VitualBox 6.1.32 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" - it's free to install but phones home and they reach out after a year or two of use and attempt to coerce you into paying for a license. Just ensure everyone has uninstalled it and tell them to go pound sand.
