Maybe the key word here is "over-engineering" but given the age of Python, Ruby, Javascript (IE: other languages in popular use, all of which are of a similar age) I'm curious how you see Java as being different in this regard. Seems like you've done some thinking on this point so I'm genuinely curious to hear your perspective.
