It's amusing that this is not an summary - it's the entire statement. Please trust these tech-leaders that may or may not have business with AI that it can become evil or whatever, so that regulatory capture becomes easier, instea

FWIW this was largely fixed in 24 (I think there are still some edge cases relating to FFI functionality), and the 25 LTS should be coming this month.

Don't even know what the product is about, but it went into my shitlist for redirecting me always to a badly machine-translated page, not understanding en-us as a language code in the URL, and not having a language selector.

The serial GC is a limitation of the community (OSS) edition. The enterprise proprietary version has G1 support. I hope Oracle will let it drip it down to the CE, but it's their project, their monetization strategy.

There isn't a daemon to speak off, they are shared libraries that you load and call functions on. I don't know much about R, but if it considers the whole memory space of the R process, it probably counted the memory consumption o

In fairness, Java 17 has just been released; it's possible new custom patches will be introduced in future Corretto patch releases. Still, the fact that Corretto 11 had so few backports is encouraging.
