    generics support, autoboxing of primitives, syntactic sugar for loops, enumerated types, variable arguments

    Looks more and more like Python. All I need now to move from Python to Java is just same small size of memory footprint and ability to interprete the source code. No need to mention FP-things like list comprehensions. Until then - keep your coffe for your blind-dumb managers. I use a real language.
