> OpenJDK open but not a realistic choice in most production deployments

This is news to me. I'm aware there are differences, but "not a realistic choice"? Can you elaborate?

I think openjdk is used in production. It's even going to be used in android in the future. You are incorrect that openjdk is not production ready today.

Lol, like that was a choice Google made freely, rather than something they were forced to do.

OpenJDK might be OK in many circumstances (as I said, requirements vary) but you might want to avoid that particular case study.

I'm going to be blunt: you claimed "OpenJDK [is] not a realistic choice in MOST production environments" (emphasis mine).

I asked for evidence for this bold claim, since many production environments I know are using OpenJDK successfully, under heavy loads and without crashing. So... evidence of your claim?

I didn't claim it wasn't production ready, the parent post did.
