I always find it interesting what they decide to include in Java. It has always had this mantra of relatively few language features, which corporations probably love, but I feel like it’s losing popularity among developers because of that. Or at least there’s been room for two competitors in that same space, namely Kotlin (a few more features) and Scala (all of the features).

And then there’s also Go, for which I haven’t really understood how it differentiates itself from Java. I guess, it’s somewhat less verbose and not running in the JVM, but it definitely still has that corporate boringness to it.
