I have no love lost for Java the language, I find it cumbersome as hell to work in and as such all of my JVM work is done in Kotlin, but I appreciate having conservative and well-thought our evolution of platform features that ultimately effect all JVM languages; seeing as Java The Language is heavily tied into JVM semantics.

Quite frankly even with all the new features Microsoft has been putting into C# they’ve been prime to ignore the existing implementations in F#, leading to a clusterfuck of an ecosystem where I can’t use many C# libraries in my language of choice due to conflicts in implementation. I don’t have that on the JVM, I know I can use a Java library in Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, hell even Ceylon without huge headaches because they all share the same primitives.

Let other JVM languages incubate need language features, Java needs to be where they are eventually stabilized and standardized in how they work on the platform.
