Just want to comment on java: Just stay away from Oracle Java and use OpenJDK, which is GPL2'd (with asterisk). If you want stability, stick to LTS versions... I have no idea why people would use Oracle Java for new projects.

Is there any difference anymore? I’m not sure there is.

Expert support, for example.
