  but still has all the historic bad decisions of itself

    Many of those are getting addressed. Value types are in the works, generics specialization for primitives, and even type classes.

      Right, but doesn't take away from the fact that Java maintains backwards compatibility and so all these legacy decisions will generally forever exist.

  I think Java explicitly refused to take some of the best features of Kotlin, like extension methods, context parameters and operator overloading.
