@dirb I'm not actually trolling btw, it's my genuine opinion.
May benefit from null safety, and maybe asyncs, but I'm not even sure. (I'm a bit skeptical of the practical benefits of both of those.)
Slightly better meta programming wouldn't go amiss either, but it's no big deal.
Other than those things, I'm not sure I ever missed something in Java.
It's a very coherently designed language that doesn't pile feature on top of feature, just letting you focus on the programs you're writing instead of dozens of shiny language features that may or may not make the code more readable.
Performance is also great. Pretty much as good as can be in a dynamic, garbage collected language.

@taylan I personally would just prefer less verbose syntaxis, some thing like kotlin. but I would need much more than that, I rarely use newers features after java 8 other tan type inference. But I think most of the gripe people have with Java are over older code bases or overly engineered projects
