After seeing the huge improvements that JavaScript has gone through over the years I'm all for language updates. Same with Java and C++ (although not as much for Java and I don't know C++ but I always hear C++11 is "new").

Java 8 (and 9 more so) bring a lot of changes but more focused on core libraries than the language itself. Not as drastic as the changes JS has seen.

C++11 though is quite a bit different. Probably the biggest change being that raw pointers * for the most part should not be used anymore.
