    It's hardly worth answering to this, but since there may be a danger some Junior-dev may believe this stuff if left unanswered:

    1. OpenJDK is open source, and of course this includes a compiler and a runtime environment. It doesn't matter what additional proprietary stuff uses Oracle does, which hardly anyone needs or uses. Use one of its derivatives like AdoptOpenJDK to make sure to not rely on Oracle infrastructure.
    2. Who gets to define what "Standard" means? The "Standard-Bodies"? Sounds circular. Anything can be a standard if it's widely accepted. Since the trainwreck disaster which was the ECMA standardization of the Office Open XML "specification" it's obvious that MS can bribe any organization to get their proprietary stuff and official stamp. Show me an independent .net implementation which was not in some form sponsored by MS. In Java we can at least point to IBM, so the standard actually means something.

    It's pretty silly to try to differentiate between "compiled" and "translated". They're both the same. All compiling is translation to another language.
