alt Hacker NewsSaying that the new Java features are half baked, to me, shows you're just feeling hurt because people prefer Java over your favourite language.
Java may not be the pinnacle of programming languages, but since Java 8, pretty much every feature it's added has been absolutely excellently done.
i mean, it follows the java philosophy (preseving backward compat). theyve done great work improving java. but i see no reason to use it over scala where i get better features, its more like a java 2.0
