Agreed. Java is on the same trail.

Care to elaborate? I think Java is showing remarkable vision and cohesion in their roadmap. Their released features are forward compatible and integrate nicely into existing syntax.
I work much with C# these days and wish C# had as cohesive a syntax story. It often feels like "island of special syntax that makes you fall of a cliff".
It's honestly hilarious since the person you're replying to has heavily advocated Manifold which is a compiler extension to Java that adds every little feature to the language.
