As I said, it's actually not a problem that other languages are ahead and try things out. That's certainly no reason to switch to a new language.

To your other points:

  • == compares references so every Java developers knows after month or so to use .equals().
  • I consider operator overloading actually harmful but YMMV.

But my article was not intended to convince you to use any other language. Use the tool you're happy with.
