I am not sure I am super excited about Java the language increasing in size. As in, the size of the body of knowledge that need to be committed to one's head to comprehend and write the code.

I am actually quite opposed to the syntax sugar features like "getters/setters from C#", "events" and what not. Java the language is already large enough. IDEs do a decent job dealing with boilerplate code. Please, no new kludgy additions to the language.

Those people that need functional features could use Scala now. Jython is there for those not liking static typing.

Why don't we just leave Java alone?
