why were those not great times? Every open source project can be forked. Want to make MyC++Haxor3000 just fork LLVM and start adding the features you want. Same with python, JavaScript, and many other languages.

My understanding with Java is MS had signed a contract with Sun so there were other obligations. From a purely engineering POV though it makes total sense to extend. When I embed a language in my app (lua, JavaScript, whatever) the first thing I do is expose all my functionality.
