Oracle Corporation and Sun Microsystems announced today they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Oracle will acquire Sun common stock for $9.50 per share in cash.
I think Java will be in awesome hands of Oracle and Java could be a more strong server side language than what Sun did. Sun wasted a lot of resource, time and money in JavaFX, we already have Flex/Flash.

Oracle would have servers, Java, MySQL, Netbeans and several other things. Hell, they might kill off the last two.
