Well, yeah. It's the explicit design philosphy of the language to wait and see what works as other languages do the experimenting.

"We are improving and enriching the connections between the Java virtual machine and well-defined but “foreign” (non-Java) APIs, including many interfaces commonly used by C programmers."

Where does it say "innovating"?
