Slide 3 doesn't speak for me except for Java 8. I've looked at Scala, don't like the syntax, give me heartburn like trying to look at Lisp, Smalltalk, Ruby or Haskell. Eclipse so totally rocks, it beats the $1000+ cost of Visual Studio and Intellij isn't even in my rear view mirror. Gradle, syntax does not work in my brain, I get the same feeling as when looking at the languages I mentioned earlier. Give me make, Ant and/or Maven (though you have to be careful to keep Maven on a short leash).
