Microsoft vs. IBM: A major shift in Java support

Buying developers via github seemed focused toward JS. I went to [0] to prove it but turns out Java is the second most popular language on GitHub projects

I don't think donating huge money to Github can be an evidence that M$ are moving toward Java

Microsoft didn't donate "huge money" to Github, they bought the company outright...and that has nothing at all to do with Java despite the ill fitting observation that Github is "a DVCS tool that hosts a variety of Apache and other open source Java projects".

Also that's not what the article is about, it's about Microsoft increasing its investment in the Java Enterprise space, whilst their old "enemy" seem to be less interested.

And finally, Slashdot from 1998 called and asked for its "M$" back ;)

they are not mentioning that with Redhat IBM had a big java enteprise and opensource acquisition too,
