> Java has introduced streams, lambdas etc.. has any other language shown this type of adaptation to times? Well, Lisp added CLOS, which was a huge adaptation to the rise of OOP. It also originated lambdas. I don't know if streams originated in Lisp, or if they were an adaptation from another language. > Most of the boilerplate code is either auto-generated or you can use Lombok type framework to generate them for you That's why I prefer a homoïconic language: I can write & generate the boilerplate in the language itself. > Java made a really good comeback with Android I don't know if that's true so much as there really aren't good options to Java on Android. I'd give my eye teeth for a good Go GUI SDK for Android, for example.
