I've been bitten by bitwise operations on signed integers a few too many times. Are there any plans on having normal unsigned integer types yet?

I don’t follow why this is unfortunate?
I assume OP prefers Kotlin or Scala. Personally, I think one of my favorite things about Java is that, all things considered, it's a small-ish language. So I'm glad that Java is both willing to evolve (slowly, letting other people try stuff out first) but also clearly focused on a curated feature set and resistant to letting new stuff in to bloat it. I am very happy to deal with minor things like no multiline string…

Whenever we read about new improvement in Java,it is always inevitably followed by concerns for viability of Kotlin or Scala. However these concerns are never applicable for Closure. I am glad I went all in on Clojure.

A lot of people have migrated away from Java to better JVM languages. If Java actually keeps improving, there's a reasonable likelihood that people will stop migrating and those that have may come back to Java from these other langs. Long term this could lead to a loss of maintenance for tools and libraries for these languages which could kill them and leave those that migrated with a dead & decaying ecosystem. Of co…
We must have a “new features since Java 8” post every other day.
At least it isn't yet another link to re-written in Rust headlines.
