Is anyone else so leery of Oracle's lawyers you want nothing to do with this? Even if it's awesome work, as I expect it is, I don't trust Oracle not to someday find a new way to screw me, whatever the text of the license.

(I'm having doubts if this comment belongs here. But it's my genuine reaction, for what it's worth.)

Wouldn't touch this tech with a 10 foot pole due to licensing concerns and lock in.

LLVM is providing most of the interop without strings attached.

0% chance I'll ever use this or let one of my team members use it.

I don't know a single person that's said a single good thing about Oracle, including people that work there. I know a ton of people that have been burned by Oracle and their lawyers.
