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.

- gf000 3mo agoI mean, type inference goes decades before Dlang.
- drzaiusx11 3mo agonot 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)
