On the flip side, how many features are in those languages that java benefited from not introducing?

- lmm 3y agoI can only think of XML literals (which Scala did eventually manage to remove) and the first version of value types. (Plus some new things in Scala 3 which time will tell about). From Haskell maybe Python-style list comprehensions (Haskell has two sets of syntax sugar for using monads more easily and Python took the bad one). Pretty poor tradeoff on the whole if you ask me - but Scala is always there for anyone with enough sense to pick it up.
