I imagine that many suggestions for prominent open source projects, let alone a widely adopted language, turn into forums similar to small town town-hall meetings.

There are probably a number of people of different walks of life and usage of the lang that voice opinions regardless of their relevance or significance in modern adoption of the lang.

There’s already been strong reactions by some in the Java subreddit. A lot have bike shedding over syntax and some just don’t like the idea of handling exceptions this way.
