Please also note the new Java release cadence. In the past, it took 3 years or longer for a major release with new language features. Nowadays, every 6 months a new version is released with new features. So Java will add features from other languages in the next years, e.g. record types, value types and fibers. That will make java as a language more competitive again.

The other side of the coin is: will users (like enterprises) keep up with this pace?
