Many of the current generation don't have any issues with Microsoft.

We do mostly Java and .NET projects, and enough juniors get on both stacks.

Last time I checked, the better colleges around taught some combo of C, Python, Java, and LISP.

Sometimes a few business classes with .net, but it seems very rare overall.

The professors have a lot of influence in the future..

Yea, inexperience with Microsoft would make them think it's okay to do that before these announcements. I agree with parent comment though, not enough to make me come back.

source: C# and .NET were the first languages I taught myself after PHP in 2007-2008.

I went back in 2010. My first contact with it was when my employer, a MS partner got an early access to it, still on Alpha stage.

Nowadays I would rather do .NET projects than Java ones, as I already have the language and toolchain features today at my disposal that will only be available (with luck) on Java 10.

Also because neither Sun or Oracle really understand what native development should be like.

JavaFX has everything to compete with XAML, yet it really needs some love.
