I think 'least regard' belongs to Oracle. For some reason I thought DuckDB was one of Gabe's ideas over at DuckDuckGo :-).
That said, the acquisition by Amazon is interesting in that it seems to overlap with their existing DB offerings? Which makes me wonder what exactly it is that they are getting out of this.
Potential competitor removed from play
Duckdb is already an aws offering
they did fairly well with Java
I could definitely imagine Java in better hands.
I can't think of many other languages/frameworks where one of the worst places to install it is from the primary sponsor/maintainer.
Java could be in better hands. Maybe will be, one day, when Oracle finally ends up fighting the organisational fire that has started in their debt pile.
That's odd; I've only heard good things about the Java team at Oracle. Is there a public article or insider knowledge that differs?
