I'm honestly happy with java lang's stewardship over the past decade, this particular JEP notwithstanding (it's fine, but the good parts come later.) They're conservative in adopting new features whereas I see every other language bolting on everything under the sun with reckless abandon. I prefer the "let's see what shakes out" and adopt "the good parts" which seems to be Java's approach. Sugar like "var" from kotlin, project loom event loop like nodes, etc.

Type inference was on DLang far before that Kotlin even existed. The only difference it's that reuses "auto" keyword.

[drzaiusx11]

not claiming kotlin invented anything, just that after kotlin adopts something and it turns out to be useful, java will come along in a few years and implement it (or avoid it, depending on how it goes)

I mean, type inference goes decades before Dlang.
