The whole core team is amazing. Gosling wanted a language that was practical from a development POV. Over the years, it's been refined into a language with a fair amount of mechanical sympathy on top of the development experience. Thanks to folks like Mark Reinhold and Brian Goetz. I have no love for Oracle the big bad company. But I am deeply greatful they've managed to keep that group moving forward.
