On: Java string interpolation feature has been cancell...

[nikanj]

Many of the proposed syntaxes for this feature were absolutely bonkers, nearly as bad as the ones proposed for raw strings. The JVM is technically impressive, but the syntax is almost C++ levels of terrible

Luckily there is Kotlin that gives programmers a nicer interface to the JVM.

While not taking advantage of all its features, because Android/ART.

[soco → cryptos]

I have yet to see the real-world project where a nicer interface to the JVM makes the difference. Not saying that they don't exist, just that they are way less than one would assume.

[valenterry → cryptos]

Yep. Just like Clojure, Scala and others, depending on the flavor. Just language-wise there is little reason for Java. But tooling and ecosystem are of course also relevant.
