I think Java fits the bill exactly for a quietly known language, used in a lot of web services, with a diverse ecosystem.

I’m not sure they’re walking into the trap so much as leading us into the trap. Canonical has not traditionally been super pro copy left.

The only places I’ve felt the pain were firefox, chrome, and eclipse. I’ll check later to see what snaps are installed but the sandbox is mostly not noticed. The main issue is that the app with this biggest attack surface (Firefox) is also the one I explicitly want to access my whole system.

Chrome I only installed because ff didn’t work, but it was no better.
