With a month to go before the next round of the Oracle lawsuit, I suspect this &#x27;sources say&#x27; leek is carefully timed. The message seems to be &#x27;we could cut you out completely&#x27;.<p>I wonder what a post-Java Android would do to the Java ecosystem. Despite predictions to the contrary (including pg&#x27;s 15 years or so ago), Java is still very strong, back at the top of the TIOBE list.

The original article seems to be this: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;dd&#x2F;2016&#x2F;04&#x2F;07&#x2F;google-facebook-uber-swift&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;dd&#x2F;2016&#x2F;04&#x2F;07&#x2F;google-facebook-uber-swi...</a><p>And the only source in that one is &quot;Sources say&quot; so a big grain of salt is probably warranted.
