For quite some time I've been thinking about making a "better Java" so a language that would target JVM and be fully compatible with existing Java code but "better". I envisioned null safety, more consistent pattern matching, maybe more expression-oriented syntax, inverted access flags (everything is private final by default) but now that I think about it, is it even useful? Everything other than null safety is just pointless fluff that's "good to have" but that doesn't warrant a new language
